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.

Out of thanks. But thank you for those observations.
One thing I love about CP is that there are people all over the place that in most cases actually have seen someone play. It's really valuable/interesting to get input from those people.
