How so? Why would Columbus want to add a 3mil ineffective player for somebody who's making a mil and they don't have to pay? Habs would have to retain the max amount.
Waived: Gregory Campbell (unconditional - contract terminated)

The AHL is a place for career AHLers or up and coming prospects.
The NHL is for NHL players. If Campbell isn't good enough for the NHL he doesn't want to be a has been taking up a roster spot in the AHL.

campbell is a good soldier and at one point was a servicable grinder. we all lose a step with age. campbell could still be a good influence on kids... showing them the type of sacrafices you need to make to play in the nhl as a bubble talent... but his days of being able to keep up with nhl play is cooked.
as a bruin fan i treasure memories of his past but now i wish him a dignified exit. taking on a role as player coach would be his best bet and collect the paycheck in ahl

Don't blame the goalie!
…and someone knows just what the hell they are talking about.
I'd love to see it, love Greg Campbell, toughest mother****er since Robert Svehla

He's still got plenty left in the tank, he was never a point collector. If he plays for a team worth a damn, he'd actually prove quite effective.

Have to think at this point the safer course for Columbus is to just terminate his contract. The risk he might change his mind and decide to report to the AHL probably outweighs any return the Jackets might hope to get by trading him.
I would be ok getting him if an asset was added but not for Greening.
Greening can play
Now if it's a 6th for Campbell+ a 3rd sure

Or Columbus could just let him not report and not add anything to move him.
Ah yes, the old "it's the team not the player." Except the team is only as good as its players. And Campbell was part of the problem because he sucks defensively as well as offensively.
I'm confused, why not just terminate his contract and wash your hands clean of him? If he wants to play in the NHL he can sign elsewhere for less $$ if a team wants him. Why is Columbus taking on the headache of trying to find him a new home

Haha, he's not reporting to the AHL because he doesn't want to take a prospect's spot? I've heard it all now. You're a fringe player, so go and try to work yourself back into the NHL.

I suppose such a team could probably more easily afford to cover for the fact that he's a liability on the ice nowadays, but that still doesn't actually net an improvement for the team in questoin.

He might be fine as a 14th forward on a team that wants a pseudo-mentor in that role. All our mentors, tho, are also contributing on the ice and doing a damn fine job of it.
By and large, tho, he's done.

Trade you!
But what about the NHL spot he would take from a player.....
Sounds like he's such a good guy he doesn't want to take a spot from a guy sitting in the Press Box.
