Okay, a lot of drama here.
I've seen Keegan play probably 30 times the last two years combined.
First year, young big kid, pretty garbage, but you could tell the potential was there. This year, WAY better, made a decent first pass, and made the right plays more often than not. Earlier in the year I thought he'd go 60-90.
Kanzig is not defined by his toughness - he is NOT a goon. He is a hockey player first and foremost. He has a reputation as a tough guy because of how he destroys guys, but that is not his main game. He is a shutdown guy, with OK puck skills, and great leadership abilities.
I hated having him on the ice in year one, but by the next year I found myself hoping he was on the ice in tight situations.
Full disclosure: One of my best friends works with Keegan at Bear Mountain. Plus I love the guy and wish the best for him.
