Waived: Steven Kampfer (cleared waivers), Kindl recalled & demoted back

[Gentle Man]

Gonna get nothing for Kampfer

What a mess (beyond the Kampfer thing).

Gonna get nothing for Kampfer

I think it's worth trying to see if he goes through, if traded at best we would've got another healthy scratch 7th d-man back and we already have that in Kindl.

Why replace Mike Matheson with a Mike Matheson prototype with no potential? If it's just for a 7th dman, why wasn't kampfer good enough?

What it does cost us is cap space.

400k added or something along that, while we have 9-10M available.

Virtually nothing.

Oh he asked to be traded? I would still rather have anyone else up. Give mccoshen a look.

I really doubt Kindl is going play more than what Kampfer has so far, unless Matheson starts bombing it in every game or someone gets injured.

We just swapped the popcorn eater and Kampfer gets to play in Springfield if he clears, that's the way I'd look at it.

Hmm, now GR deleted the tweet that said Kampfer asked for a trade. Spoke too much or wrong info?

In past, Panthers hesitated putting Steven Kampfer on waivers figuring he would be claimed. Source says he asked for trade; scratched 11/12 pic.twitter.com/D3Ov5VEK4T

It wouldn't be too surprising if he did ask for a trade though. I am a bit surprised he hasn't seen more action. Most teams seem to have played 7+ defenseman more then Florida has. He needs games to be/stay match fit. Then again, I would think Panthers could get something for him at the very least a draft pick.

Still. Will be interesting to see if he gets claimed. Before the season I would have said absolutely. But now has has seen little to no action and the one time he did play he didn't have his best game.

Kindl, Kampfer. No difference.

They both suck.

Now now.. Kindl is left handed. Has better PDOd, DDO, OFPS-+ and of course SMH than Kampfer

 

[Little Bobby Boo]

Kindl plays the left side. Only benefit I see here.

 

[GrumpyKelly]

God damnit I thought I had seen the last of him.

 

[CHGoalie27]

To NYR please

Hah.

If it gets any worse you just might see Mitchell back.

 

[EnforceTheLaus]

Hmm, would think it's the former.

 

[MPGA]

I'd rather see a Jovo-Kuba pairing play 30 minutes a night for the rest of the year than see Kindl in the lineup ever again.

 

[ShootIt]

Assume this means Kindl plays tonight.

 

[spacemanatee]

he should be the automatic first choice in the points game

 

[SoupyFIN]

So is Kindl headed back to Springfield or what?

Wow I'm pretty surprised he didn't get claimed. He's a good depth player.

 

[ShootIt]

So, we have two healthy scratches on the blueline?

Coach Gerard Gallant’s brief comment on the arrival of Kindl — “I have no thoughts on it; we put a guy on waivers and that wasn’t a coaching decision but a management decision†— may tell the way the Panthers are leaning on which player is headed to the minors.

Kindl is going to be waived on Thursday when Jokinen is activated.

Sounds like some analytic thinking between the lines there.
