Quoting: hazard
Its not a bad idea lol. I feel like Kerfoot is misused because of his ice time. He played so well in the playoffs last year when it came to increased ice time.
I would put Ritchie ahead of Engvall tho.
Lilegren >>>>> Holl too. Kid will excel playing with muzzin
Engvall vs Ritchie is not a comparison of their quality as nhlers but the role being asked.
Ritchie is bad defensively, engvall is above average to good.
Of course Ritchie brings a better offensive game and a needed physical game. So he's better overall. He just has no place on a checking line with a Kampf line is by default.
Kampf should play with other good defensive players which would be: marner, engvall, kerfoot, Kase, Mikheyev.
As he's obviously not going to play with marner it will be a mix of kerfoot, Kase, engvall and Mikheyev.
Ritchie can get more minutes by being the big body on the pp
