Kampf’s Overall Grade: A-

Kampf commendably did what was asked of him this season for the Blackhawks. His impact was vital to the success of the team. Even so, he could easily be one of the players exposed at the expansion draft to the Seattle Kraken. The Blackhawks have a number of skilled forwards they might want to protect ahead of him. He’s also a restricted free agent this offseason, so he will need to be re-signed with a new contract.

Kampf is not a goal-scorer. But that’s not what he’s there for. The 26-year-old lined up as the Blackhawks’ fourth line center for the majority of this past season. In this role, Kampf is expected to shut down the opponent’s top lines. It’s his job to be hard to play against, as well as tilt the ice in a positive direction for the line that replaces him at the end of his shift. These are difficult things to do, and it’s easy to take for granted all the little things Kampf does well.

One of the best 4th line Cs and PKers in the league, both were big needs this offseason. I get that you dont like KD, and maybe this deal is a bit rich, but its pretty clear what he was looking for here.

A bit rich and Kyle seem to follow each other around.

Only one day ago, it was said he wouldn't be pushed around any longer.
 
I've seen this narrative running rampant lately of " we NEED a shutdown 3rd/4th line C" or "NEED a shutdown 3rd/4th line"...

Do these sorts of narratives start with someone popular in the media and just spread like wildfire or what? We lost the last couple of playoff rounds because of the exact opposite issue - we were getting shutdown by the opposition and couldn't get key goals anywhere in the lineup.

Montreal produced next to no offense and went to the Cup final. Our need for any shutdown C seems to be wildly trumped by out need for more offense...
 
Maybe Marner can turn Kampf into a 15 goals scorer which 15 times more than last season.
