“Kampf joined the Canucks. I think this was the outcome that everybody expected, that Vancouver, the team that had the most need for a center and the most interest, went end up with them and they got them.
I do believe that Montreal, after Alex Newhook got injured in that brutal ankle injury, and good luck Alex, I do think Montreal made a pitch, but it was going to be tough for everybody to beat Vancouver here.
I think the Canucks had the most need and the most determination to get him.”
