When the Bruins acquired Steven Kampfer in the Adam McQuaid trade last summer, the logic was that we wouldn’t see much of him at the NHL level. “Sure,” the thinking went. “He’s here to be a 8/9/10 defenseman. That’s fine.”
And then the season happened, and the Bruins started having injury troubles on the back-end. Kampfer was called upon, and he ended up playing nearly a half-season’s worth of games for the big club.
