Alex Kerfoot, left winger for the Toronto Maple Leafs, is a very underrated player.
The Toronto Maple Leafs traded Nazem Kadri for Alex Kerfoot, and that has always been a roadblock to popularity for the underrated winger.
Like a lesser version of Mats Sandin trying to replace Wendel Clark, there is just too much emotion involved for people to even care that while playing above average defense, he scored 50+ 5v5 points last year on the Leafs second line.
That’s more 5v5 production than either Tavares or Nylander provided. He can play all three forward positions, is a plus-defender, can kill penalties and play anywhere in the lineup.
