His agent said he doesn't want to play in the AHL because it would take the spot of a prospect trying to make the NHL.
So...he's either being a good guy, or trying to look good.
'Maybe if I come up with a reason that doesn't make any sense they won't question it...'
I've always had an irrational hatred of Campbell for two reasons..
1 - His Dad is/was a jerk-off
2 - Going by Gregory in stead of Greg
It makes me think of when Pierre unnecessarily says KRISTOPHER Letang. Anyone that makes me think of Pierre is on my ****-list.
CBJ should offer him a coaching/scouting/development position which is similar in pay to his current contract.
Tell him:
1. We are icing the best 23 man roster we have. Unfortunately you didn't make the cut. That's sports.
2. We appreciate your leadership, insights, and contribution to the team so far.
3. If you want to report to the AHL, you may. If you want to cancel your contract and play abroad, you may.
4. We have been trying to trade you to another NHL team. No takers.
5. If you would like, we will offer you this position within the team's front office...
Why would they want to pay him a highly inflated front office rate? If he can't make the 23-man roster (at $1.5m) then him refusing to report is the best case scenario.
