This would be like saying Jiri Hudler should be traded because he has a giant melon.

Kerr's job is to speak into a microphone. Hudler's job is to play a sport. Kerr's looks and the shape of Hudler's head both have nothing to do with their jobs. The way Kerr delivers his play-by-play is certainly worse than many of the broadcasters we see regularly in Canada. Saying this on the internet is not the death knell for his career, as those at Sportsnet and the NHL can decide that well enough for themselves.
I like Kerr's PBP in the same way I like Shaw TV's election coverage. It's goofy when it normally isn't. Both Kerr and Shaw TV aren't very good though.
