He'd willing to go into dirty areas and battle for the puck. That's something sorely lacking and had been for awhile. Plus, the whole D turns the puck over, not just Kaiser. We have guys who are O-focused D already, like Jones. We need more guys like prime Seabrook and Hjammer. Kaiser seems better stay at home type, which is good. Gotta ask Lord name one of the young kids that is not willing to go into the dirty areas? Exactly, this isn't like when Boqvist came into the league, this group is big and willing to do the dirty work. Kaiser being one of them, except unlike the other dmen, he lacks size and reach to help make up for his mistakes. |

But - he has the fastest feet of the bunch which gets him to the puck and out of danger faster than the other guys. |

Gotta ask Lord name one of the young kids that is not willing to go into the dirty areas? Good point, but I'm really not seeing any of the young kids who are head-and-shoulders above Kaiser. Maybe Korch, but that's about it. Vlassic and Phillips may be bigger, but they are also slower and turn the puck over just as much--which is to be expected; in my eyes a wash. I think he's worth at least a longer look and some NHL time, even though I think most of our rookie D should be on a rotation to/from Rockford unelss they prove they are de facto ready for the show. This is the year to start doing it. |
