Last night Darren Dreger of TSN reported that NCAA free agent Alex Kerfoot had reduced his list of potential teams to five. Those he listed were the New York Rangers, New York Islanders, Vancouver Canucks, San Jose Sharks and Colorado Avalanche. Arthur Staple and Steve Zipay of Newsday believe it’s even less than that, mentioning the Rangers and Sharks as the two finalists.
Kerfoot is from Vancouver, but could fit in as a depth center on many teams around the league. His senior season at Harvard went extremely well, registering 45 points in 36 games while taking over the captaincy from Jimmy Vesey. The New Jersey Devils were unable to sign him before the deadline, and he now has a chance very few young players are afforded: choose where to make your professional debut.
So where do you think he’ll land? There have been reports he could make his decision as soon as today, but it shouldn’t last much longer than a few days. If you believe a dark horse will swoop in at the last minute, make sure to leave it in the comments below.

I think he will choose the Canucks or the Rangers. Vancouver can offer him the most money I think and the Rangers have another Harvard product in Jimmy Vesey and a need at center.

Money doesn’t make a difference, he’s signing a ELC no matter what so the financials of the contract should be the same.

The Rangers are in need of centers.Vesey could sway him to the blue shirts.He made a smooth transition from Harvard to the NHL.That can’t be overlooked
