Open Letter To Steven Kampfer

Defenseman Steven Kampfer was traded from Boston to Minnesota on Monday
Dear Steven:

On behalf of all of Bruins Nation, I'd like to wish you luck in your future with the Minnesota organization. It's a shame to see you go to be honest. You were an integral part of the defense last season. When you were called up from Providence, you more or less gave the defense a shot in the arm and added an offensive boost with your speed and ability to jump into the play, as well as your presence on the powerplay. It's too bad you injured your knee in Providence early in the year, otherwise you may have earned yourself a full time spot on the blue line once again. You didn't complain though, and being the 7th defenseman didn't seem to bother you, and for that we thank you. Many of us Bruins fans were excited at your potential and enjoyed thinking that you may have been a major part of the defensive corps in the coming years. This is a business, as I'm sure you understand, and sometimes you have to give up something valuable to acquire a piece you need for a playoff run, as is the case with your trade. Despite this, we're all saddened to see you leave Boston, and we wish you all the best for a long and successful NHL career. We hope you come back to us here in Boston one day to once again wear the black and gold and be the piece of the defense we all know you can be. Minnesota is a great hockey city, and you'll enjoy your time there, however long it may be. Just do us fans a favor, though. When you play us, try to let the B's score a goal or two, just for kicks. In all seriousness though, we hope you enjoy Minnesota and their passionate fanbase. We hope to see you again one day, once again representing the Boston Bruins organization.

Sincerely,
Boston Bruins Nation
