Maple Leafs Player Might be Eyeing a Homecoming

A tally of just 10 goals and 32 points from 82 games was not what the Leafs' faithful had hoped for, particularly on the heels of his breakout 2021/2022 season where he scored an impressive career-high 51 points. His inconsistency left a sour taste in the mouths of his supporters.

As July's free agency beckons, Kerfoot, seems to be packing his bags for a fresh adventure on a new NHL team. This dual-position dynamo - a competent winger and center - has a contract expiring soon. The Leafs, constantly grappling with cap constraints, have hinted at possibly parting ways.

Despite the dip in form, the offseason might see Kerfoot eyeing a pay raise, an idea that doesn't sit well with the Leafs' fresh GM recruit, Brad Treliving.

So, the million-dollar question looms - where might Kerfoot hang his skates next?

Rumor mills suggest the Vancouver Canucks could be his next destination. Born and raised in British Columbia, Kerfoot could find himself echoing the footsteps of another ex-Leaf, Ilya Mikheyev, to Vancouver.

Could Kerfoot be considering a homecoming? We just might find out on July 1st.
