Ultimate big brain move? is to get Campbell and a bunch of assets (their 2024 unprotected 1st, more draft picks and whatever top prospects they have), flip them to get Hronek type players, have Ian Clark work his magic on Campbell.

Like f*** it, Campbell, their 2024 unprotected 1st + 2024 2nd, 2025 3rd, for DeSmith, Beauvillier, and Poolman’s contract.

The con is your stuck with Campbell but have a bunch of assets you can flip to bolster the line up and pray Clark can salvage Campbell. It would be absolutely f***ing ballsy and you’d have to convince the Oilers to part with their 2024 1st.

You can use both our own and the Oilers 1st, gain back a 2nd and 3rd round pick to get a top 3 defenseman + top 6 forward.

I wouldnt touch that deal but a rebuilding team should definitely consider that.

Eg. SJ and Blackwood, Montreal with Allen for Campbell + futures
 
Montreal: Monahan + Kovacevic

Nashville: Novak + Carrier

Which package would you be more interested in under the assumption that the Montreal one is slightly cheaper?
 
How a rebuilding team with sufficient cap space hasn’t taken Holland to the cleaners yet on a Campbell deal is beyond me.

It’s so obvious to do before changes are made in Edmonton that could derail it.

Interesting, although Kovacevic is signed through next season at a paltry salary so he might be the most valuable piece overall. I think I’d probably choose the Nashville package though, especially if there’s any chance of re-signing either player.

Nashville.

Do what Vegas did and acquire a rental (Barbashev) in Novak that can be resigned and solidify your Top 9.

Only question is what that number looks like and if he wants to go somewhere where he could play Top 6 minutes instead.

Hronek-type players is my favourite buzz term right now. Like ya! We should just trade for another guy playing like one of the best dmen in the league!

If that's all it cost make the deal. Holland will screw this up by trying to dump Campbell and try to acquire a new goalie in the same deal. Dump Campbell and then you have a some real cap flexibility. And then look to get the goalie that you want. But they will cheap out and get some bandaid fix and wonder why it didn't work.

Spend assets to dump Campbell.
Spend assets to acquire Binnington.
Get shocked when Jordan Binnington immediately regresses and puts up horrendous numbers behind the Oilers D.

Bank on it.

Montreal, mostly because of Kovacevic. If he's a real player, you're getting him at $766K next season. That's the most valuable piece.

That Campbell contract goes for another 4 years.

No rebuilding team thinks they'll still be rebuilding in 4 years (even SJ from the worst position took a worse return on the Karlsson deal to avoid paying more money 3-4 years down the road) and the realistic cost to dump that contract is probably more than Edmonton is willing to pay.

If I was a team like Chicago or Montreal I'd be asking for 3 unprotected 1sts to take that contract and I doubt Edmonton is willing to pay it.
 
3 years left on Campbell after this one.

Buy it out after this season and you're left with 10.5 million spread over 6 years which while isn't great is manageable. Or run it for one more year and see if he bounces back.

Montreal also has the Armia contract they would like to get rid of which is 3. 4 million this year and next.

I think Campbell, a 1st, 2nd for Armia pretty fair and might work for both sides. And if Edmonton does want a goalie in this deal, Montembeault for Bourgault is out there already.

So Campbell, Bourgault, 1st, 2nd for Armia, Montembeault?

I don't know.

It was immediately upon being signed one of the worst contracts in the NHL, and it was obvious to many. Woof, what a huge mistake.

the montreal package for sure. it will cost less and i think monahan is a perfect fit going forward for this team. could slot in as an elite 3C that can handle spot duties in the top-6.
 
The Kings paid Walker, Grans and a 2nd to essentially dump $3M a year of Cal Petersen’s contract. To dump 4 years of Campbell’s contract it will cost multiple 1st’s.
