And no, Kampfer is not a fighter. Just a player that Anaheim didn't realize they had. One thing Weisbrod did point out and that didn't make the story is that on another team with several fast D/PMDs, Kampfer's success probably wouldn't generate as much buzz as it has in Boston. The Bruins simply don't have any other player on defense with his skating and skill set, so his impact is magnified as opposed to if he were in Anaheim or Colorado or Detroit, for instance.
Fair point, IMO.

It was totally random when the Ducks traded him to Boston for a 4th or 5th. We should have kept him....Hes been playing solid from what Ive seen him play this year
Of course.
Kämpfer = Fighter.
He just said that Kämpfer in german means Fighter.
You're a Bruins fans and you're asking how your own player has looked?

Great article and very interesting!
Wonder if Chia started to trust his scouts more after the Bochenski deal. I heard one of the scouts flipped when he heard we traded Versteeg for a bandaid forward. I know, he listened to them when Minny wanted Krejci instead of Kalus in the Fernandez deal. That could have been disastrous. He must have a lot of faith in them at this point.
excellent game tonight for Kampfer, kid is certainly looking legit.
between him and Justin Braun (SJ), not sure which one I like more! Kampfer has a wonderful shot from the point that seems to be very accurate, he looks to be exactly what the Bruins hoped Matt Hunwick could have been for them.

I did not know about either of these...
Interesting.
Holy ****!!! I never knew that. That would've been a steal. Do you know how close you guys came to including him?
