Personally thing you guys will really like Campbell on your 4th line.

He shows up to play every night. He's a decent penalty killer and faceoff guy. He doesn't play a "Big" game, but always stands up for his teammates and will occasionally drop the gloves.

I, myself, fell in love with the guy when he finished a shift on a broken leg a few years back

Campbell's strengths lie in his penalty killing and face offs so on the fourth line playing under ten minutes you could do worse.

For anything else he's less than useless.

He was never himself when he came back from that but that was still one of the greatest things I've ever seen in a hockey game.

I agree about Campbell there were some better options. To me this is a damaged product we got.

Guy has heart, he was awesome in Boston. Although he noticeably lost a step last year. I wouldnt worry too much about his linemates numbers not being great when he was on the ice....he generally had stone fist Shawn Thornton and Danny Paille (who couldnt score to save his life last year).

Also the ability to play on one leg.

Oh, you're gonna hate him. But at least your coach won't force feed him 13 min a night

I like the signing. I think he brings some grit that Letestu was lacking. Letestu was a solid player, but never fit the fourth line role well imho. He did a lot of other things well, but I never got the energy from him on that line that I'd like to see. I'm hoping a guy who can hit a little more will bring that.
