Waive him to the minors and then buy him out in the summer.
Oh and fire Holland.
It's no wonder Toronto couldn't make it out of the first round. They'll probably win the cup this year. It's a miracle they were able to get it to game 7s with Campbell in net.
5 goals on the final 13 shots of regulation.
Literally the worst goalie in the league.

I'd say that that is the definition of a horrible goalie though. Take the worst goalie in the league (and lets assume he isnt Campbell, for arguments sake) and I bet they have a bunch of amazing saves and even some impressive games
The best measure of quality goaltending is consistency

Going to go against the grain here and say I think he’ll be okay. But he definitely needs to have a break (again). Hopefully Skinner is back next game

Your outlook has the advantage of being the only option we have.
We don't have a choice. His buyout would be bad and no one will trade for all those years of him, unless it was something a first round pick for every year left on his deal.
So yeah. Just keep at it. Keep trying with him but don't be afraid to go to Skinner when Jack slumps

I think he’s shown enough good flashes that games like tonight could be exceptionally rare. He was trash but there have been losses where the team basically ‘let it happen’. A better defensive structure and upgrade on D and he’ll be looking a lot better.

Totally agree. And we think that bringing EK65 is going to solve our defense, with this dud in nets? Laughable. Mikko Koskinen any day any time over this guy.
I thought it was just some bad outings he had at the beginning of the season and figured he'd get better as he'd settle on a new team and environment. this guy is a joke.

21 out of 24 points since new years. We can blame him for the last 2 games, but should we really expecting him to be perfect?

I expect a consistent effort every game regardless of outcome.
Resulting in a save % equal or better to league average.
Trade him to San Jose for in a Karlsson deal. He's not a difference maker, if the Oilers need to score 5 goals for him to win, well you can find 20 different goalies that could do the same shit.

When it comes to analyzing a goalie, numbers matter yes.
Just because the Zamboni driver won, doesn't quality him as a good goalie.
You can try to outscore your problems, but they are going to catch up to you in the playoffs.
2.82 GAA .900 sv% in that time span
Considering the Oilers have the 3rd best expected goals against in the league over that time frame, that is embarrassing.
Make no mistake about it, the Oilers were winning games despite Campbells average goaltending during his little hot streak. And now that that average goaltending is back to miserable goaltending he's back to costing the team games.
