No. 3: Alex Kerfoot

Kerfoot is currently on-pace for every goal he scores this year to be worth $1.1M. If you’re keeping score at home, that’s not very good!!

Kerfoot makes $3.5M and has one goal in 26 games this year. You can say that he’s providing his services in a different manner and has 10 points total, which is okay, but overall his contract is a burden on this roster.

The 28-year-old has the ability to play up and down the line-up, which is nice, but so does Calle Jarnkrok and Pontus Holmberg right now. Kerfoot has had plenty of opportunities this year to score, but he’s had a hard time finishing and it’s very disappointing to watch.

He seems like the most obvious choice to move on because he makes the most money of the three players I’m mentioning today. Not only that, but with one-year left on his contract, he’s had a long enough NHL career that someone would take a chance on him.

Even though he’s struggling, some team will say that a “change of scenery” is all he needs to get back to the 40-50 point player that he used to be.
