Player Discussion Steven Kampfer

[High five Tom]

I am starting to think that a Krug trade is going to happen. With all our depth at D and the value of Krug i think its a matter of time.

I was pleasantly surprised at Kampfer 2.0. Didn't miss a beat when placed in a position to succeed with the right amount of minutes. It's a long season, good deal.

In the expansion draft you have to expose a certain number of dmen and forwards who have played “x” number of games.

Moore and now Kampfer check off the boxes for dmen.

It does not mean that Seattle will not draft one of the Bruins draft eligible prospects.

pretty much did all you could ask from a depth D-man, step in when needed, don`t hurt the team defensively

 

[BAD BOY]

Who's the other 7th defenseman? Kampfer and ____________________ ?

Vaak?

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Vaak?

I want Vaakanainen playing big minutes in Providence if he's not with the big club. With the Moore injury, this may be a great time to try and work in one of Zboril/Lauzon/Vaakanainen and see what you have (assuming none are moved).

Agreed. I was worried he might not be able to handle the speed but he was ready for it. Well deserved IMO.

I said the same thing on Twitter to a bunch of people losing their **** over the signing, and they keep coming back at me with, "they have too many D" and "what about the kids"?

I am not sure how some people can't see that this is just insurance, with literally zero risk and potentially a great move?

Insurance for injuried and/or hold outs on the right side

 

[neelynugs]

the way last season went, sweeney should have 14 D on the roster

smart signing. very solid depth guy, whether he's 7th, 8th, 9th or 10th.

 

[GoBs]

Yup insurance policy

 

[Alicat]

It is official

 

[Dr Hook]

Good signing for depth and all, but Stevie Snipes? Really? C'mon Bruins twitter people, get a grip.

If you build a top 5 D- balanced & deep you should never suck

we need a top 6 RW

[Dr Hook]

we need a top 6 RW

The tweet called him Stevie Snipes so maybe they know something we don't? He is a rightie after all

Insurance for injuried and/or hold outs on the right side

Surprised more people haven't noticed this is insurance against holdouts since we have two RD RFAs. The more guys signed who can play the right side, the less leverage the unsigned guys have.

The thing for Sweeney to do is to start with the easier signings like Kampfer, and then move on to the progressively more difficult ones. For this reason I predict Carlo signs before McAvoy.

Glad i don't have the Bruins insurance agent then....

 

[KrejciMVP]

Drafted in 07 by Chiarelli and now he'll be a Bruin until 2021.

That sounds funny... But I don't think the Bruins drafted him.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

I hope Kampfer gets 30+ games in Boston this season.

 

[BruinDust]

That sounds funny... But I don't think the Bruins drafted him.

Wish they had drafted him in 2007, would of at least had something to show for one of the all-time worst Bruin drafts.

Excellent move by the Bs. So many variables coming into play -- expansion draft, endless injuries, players needing to be signed. Signing a guy like Kampfer for peanuts for the next two years is great, especially with the flexibility they have with him. He's nothing special, but he is a definite NHL talent who plays a solid enough game when he's in the lineup. Also, love his attitude and his desire to be a B. Happy he will be staying a B.

Yup, he's happy to be here, embraces his role. Nice cap number, solid move.

 

[KnightofBoston]

All the folks thinking there will be a d trade keep forgetting how much Sweeney loves having depth on d/8 nhl caliber guys through the season

This team partly lost the last round because our d was losing its physical stamina and the blues did not
