Kerfoot joins Nashville
Nashville isn’t done shopping. Alexander Kerfoot has put pen to paper for two seasons with the Predators, and the fit makes sense. He reads transition play well, and he gives the roster a centre who does the quiet work.
Harvard produced him before the league did. Scoring was never his thing. Look instead at the penalty kill, the defensive-zone starts, the thankless shifts that swing one-goal nights. That is where he earns his money.
The Predators wanted someone steady for the middle six. They got one.
Try it for $0.99.
The price tells the story
Two years, roughly 3.5 million dollars per season. That is role-player money for a role player, and nobody in Nashville is pretending otherwise.
The Predators limped through stretches of last season and needed bodies who understand what 82 games ask of a team. Kerfoot has logged those miles. The experience is the point here, more than any stat line.
Where he fits
Depth down the middle, no damage to the cap sheet. The coaching staff still has to figure out his exact spot in the pecking order, and that sorts itself out once camp opens.
