Brett Bellmore would probably* come cheaper, be a comparably poor player, and is fairly rugged (depending on definition).
*who knows what he is asking for in free agency.
Engelland 6'2 215
PIMs/game:
1.04
Hits/game: 2.09
Blocks/game: 0.93
6 fighting majors
1 match penalty
2 roughing minors
2 slashing minors
Bellemore 6'4 225
PIMs/game: 0.7
Hits/game:
2.64
Blocks/game:
1.53
3 fighting majors
5 roughing minors
1 slashing minor
So Engelland fights more, but Bellemore does other "rugged" things more, and is bigger.
Furthermore, Bellemore is 6 years younger, played 17 minutes/game, a greater percentage of his team's shorthanded time, and put up better possession numbers despite worse zone starts and tougher competition and equally poor teammates.
