Exit interview: Johan Kappelhof

Whoever found Kappelhof did well ... very solid defender who keeps it simple ... positioning and vision are above-average in the middle, but struggled at times with a constantly-changing partnership ... can also be taken advantage of in the air by physical attackers ... connects possession well from both positions and isn't afraid to step into midfield, but final product doesn't always justify risk ... decent but not explosive lateral quickness, but adequate pace to play on the wing ... kept his head up during a difficult campaign

2016 review

Kappelhof was signed early in the 2016 offseason, and was expected to bring quality and experience to the backline.
