Good for you, Jack!

 

[Run the Jewels]

Steve Yzerman in a recent presser: I don't want to carry more than 2 goalies.

Also Steve Yzerman: I just signed Cam Talbot and Jack Campbell. @Bench has to be thrilled.

 

[Petes2424]

Taking Hutchinson’s spot.

 

[syz]

Wings really hoping for the "former Oilers goalie suddenly gets good" gimmick to kick in this summer.

 

[JKG33]

Damn, wanted him in LA to take Big Sieve Dave's spot

Happy for Campbell to head home though. He's better than Husso. Not sure what Detroit is planning with 4 goalies now

Good luck Jack, all the best, sorry it didn't work out with Edmonton, wish you the best.

One-way or two-way?

 

[PelagicJoe]

Did Steve find something Probert left in a locker?

 

[Bench]

Not sure what Detroit is planning with 4 goalies now

This was always the plan and cowards were just too afraid to embrace it.

 

[Larry Hanson]

Hope his recovers from his ordeal now that he escaped Purgatory with that bag of cash.

So Soup gets $775,000 from the Wings and $1,500,000 from the Oilers.

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Makes sense. With Yzerman's terrible D corps, they should ice 2 goalies at all times.

Congrats GAZPACHO!

Nice guy, bad goalie.

 

[SherVaughn30]

Hmm, Soup and Pizza is a strange combo!

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

I’m so confused. So do they plan to trade Husso?

i shouldnt laugh but

Nope.

Going with 4 goalies and 9 D. It’s just too bad we’d have to be able to ice them all at once to have any hope of actually stopping goals.

This is obviously a signing for the minors so everyone can calm down.

 

[nergish]

I know he won cups with Chris Osgood in net, but Stevie really cannot assess goaltending whatsoever…

 

[SwedishFire]

My guess they plan ti make a magic bean, growing, and then when he looks good again. trade him for assets. Or someone eller. Something about his style makes me ... unpolite in him.

.918 this season, what’s wrong with him as Cossa’s backup?

 

[McPoyle]

Good luck to Campbell. He has the capability to be a good NHL goalie if he can get out of his own head.

Campbell is a not a good goaltender at the NHL level.

Poor positioning, consistent poor goals, easily deflated.

He has not been good for 2.5 seasons.

I get that this post looks negative, but these are observations of a guy who just doesn’t have what it takes.

All the best to him in Detroit.
