Guys like Raffl/Wolf are not being brought over to put up offense.

Offensive ability in lesser leagues usually show hockey skill for guys moving into the NHL. That is because even the plugs in the NHL are skilled hockey players.
You rarely see guys have success in the NHL with poor offensive in lesser/lower leagues. Wolf has pretty weak numbers even for the DEL and that means it is unlikely that he has the skill to be successful at the NHL role even in a bottom 6 role. Face punchers/agitators (especially good ones) need to be able to make passes, clear the zone and read the play.
