I'm very happy with this. I've always thought it was a preferable to have a forward as our main enforcer. If Klotz pairs up with an opposing D man and they both sit for 5, it has to be to our advantage. Also very pleased to hear we'll be running four lines. I'm feeling much more positive about the season to come now.

Being on the fourth line he's not going to get a lot of minutes, I just hope he can get the match ups needed against the role players on the other clubs who are likely to be higher up the pecking order.
He's not going to win everything going by his vids but is certainly game, hopefully on a reasonable leash so we're not always on the PK. If he can play with controlled aggression, lay some hits and not get scored on too often I'll be happy.
Certainly taking say Fitzy or Nickerson out of the game would be a tactical advantage in terms of trade offs.

Our last few imports have to be really good, as we're basically now a 12 import team.

In the era of Kaczowka we didn't play with 4 lines. I don't understand the negativity as he signed for the 4th line so hardly expected to contribute offensively right?

What will he do? Take other fourth liners to the penalty box or take penalties by imposing himself?
If he can play a bit and get in front of the net great, but this feels like a signing for a different decade.

If he fights for example Nickerson or Fitzgerald that's a defenceman down for those teams and we are losing a 12th forward. Seems a fair trade to me. |
