All his numbers, literally all, point to him being better at stopping the puck yes.

I watched alot of Soupy's "bad stretches" in Toronto, this is exactly how he plays when he's off, say what you want about the goalie coach, but the problem is 90 percent the player.

He was a big reason we got to that game. You don’t get to the final four with bad goaltending.

I mean he was certainly a reason why the series only lasted four games yeah.
He was better than Markstrom but that isn’t saying much.

If he didn’t play well down the stretch when he was finally healthy maybe we don’t even make the playoff or had to play Colorado earlier. Smith was one of the best contracts in the nhl over his time here.

And he nose dived as the playoffs went on. He was abysmal in the Avs series. Not sure why that’s so hard to understand. He didn’t retire for nothing.
And as bad as he was, I have full confidence that he would have outplayed Campbell this season. Ditto for Koskinen.
Smith and Koskinen performed substantially better last season. The reality is that with his numbers, Campbell should've been in the minors weeks ago, but they keep playing him, and we keep losing ground to Nashville.
You know what is really funny and sad
Somebody told me that our goalie coach was instrumental in swaying to go for Campbell and not keumper
Paul coffey also has influence even to Katz directly. He gives his opinion on things

Since the start of this season Los Angeles has sent their $5 million dollar goalie (Petersen) down to the AHL and shipped out a franchise legend (Quick). Their season has been saved by Phoenix Copley, an AHL goalie that was given an opportunity.
Meanwhile, we're talking about burning another year of McDrai on Campbell.

Don't worry, he's a good guy. Let's give him game 1 of the playoffs just to see if he can get it done.
The other thing that blows about Campbell being so horrible is that it’s now put unrealistic and unfair expectations on Skinner.
He’s a rookie goalie who should be playing ~30 games this season and getting some playoff experience from on the bench.
Instead we are pinning our entire season on him and if he doesn’t perform like a starter people will be ripping into him.
He shouldn’t have to be a starter at this point in his career. He shouldn’t be expected to win playoff rounds. Yet here we are because our other goalie can’t make a save.

Reimer is having a tough year but he is at .892SV% and this is the first time in his career he has been under .900. He wanted to go to a contender.

I'd revist the Karlsson deal in before the draft.
To SJ: Yamamoto, Ceci, Campbell ($1.75M retained) 2024 1st 2026 1st
To Edmonton: Karlsson ($4.25M retained --$3.50M by SJ and $725K by third team) Rights to Reimer
To get the third team to retain Edmonton gives their 2023 second and SJ give a 2023 3rd and 2023 4th
SJ has to sign a goalie anyway. Campbell at $3.25M might be a decent bounce back risk. If he does not rebound they can buy out the last two or three years of his deal.

Many posters have shown Campbell’s stats declined last year in TOR and measurably. Is skinner going to win the con smythe? No, but he’s reliable .910 and even last game was well above that until our team got lazy.
It seems our org is plagued with old boys club syndrome.
Anyone who had anything to do with recommending Campbell needs to be fired post haste.
I will be stunned if he gets bought out this summer. I would hazard they will say something along the lines of, he will be working on his game this summer and we expect he will be better after having a full year with the team.
The only thing I think that might change that is a Holland firing or retirement and then you might see it, but Holland doesn’t seem like the kind of guy to just reverse in his mistake like that,

Well I am sure that is a big strike against him from holland.
This is really the first time we have brought in a goalie of significance during UfA under holland and if our goalie coach said Campbell over kuemper then that is bad

No way he's 6'2". Looks like Halak out there who is 5'11". Get the man a bigger chest protector that stops the shoulders from slagging.
So often just doesn't see the puck. Almost like he needs an eye exam.
Not good when your goalie starts at 5 GAA each game.
The soft approach isn't working, needs to be waive or at least called out publicly, but none of that has happened.

I think there a good goalie there but I have no faith in Dustin Schwartz to do anything meaningful
