Oilers waive Jack Campbell

[MoontoScott]

Oilers waive Campbell, Skinner, Brown, McLeod and Nurse. lol. Sign Patrick kane.


He could enjoy bus rides too. They are in the scenic environment.

I love all the sites in California and he will too--if he hasn't seen them already. Life is short--take your cash and enjoy it.

We blamed:
Dubnyk
Talbot
Koskisken
Smith
Campbell (was trending down when we got him)
and to a lesser extent Skinner ( he's in his sophomore season)

Get a good Fkn D corp for once . It's not always aboout the goalies except Campbell who looked like s*** from the start so I'm fine with him going to the Condors.

You left out Laurent Brossoit who spent more than 3 seasons with the Oilers, got cast aside, and wound up winning a Stanley Cup ring with the Golden Knights.

 

[McOilers97]

Capologists - what are the cap implications of this move? IF he stays there for the rest of his contract, does that mean we save $5 Million per season?

Any player that makes over $1,150,000 has a buried cap hit of: (salary - $1,150,000). So Campbell counts as $5m - $1.15m = $3.85m against the cap.

 

[MoontoScott]

Nope. Only $1.15M. But that doesn't matter. If he can't find his game down there, he'll either be traded with assets tied to him or bought out.

Here's how a buyout looks. It's actually not too bad as it eats up all of the Brown hit next season, then has a $2.5M hit the next two years which are likely years with pretty large cap increases.

I thought the cap savings hit went up to 1.25M this year or are you prorating it to account for the 11 games already played.

This. All of this.

I actually thought it was 1.175, so double checked and it is $1.15 unless capfriendly has it wrong which would be shocking.

Patrick Kane would be out of his mind to sign here.

 

[Stoneman89]

I'd like to hear from the guy who signed Campbell to that contract. About time he stood up and defended some of his moves.

Good stuff but please explain how a buyout of Campbell's contract would effect Brown's cap hit (as per your earlier post). I don't know this cap stuff as well as you do.

 

[94 Oil Drops]

This whole board needs to take part in a group hug.

He might be putting his condo up for sale and doing some packing--just in case.

They aren't related in any way.

I'm only saying it since with $3.9 of cap relief and the fact that Brown's bonus (assuming it converts) will introduce about $3M in overages that will come out next years cap, I'm just saying it's a way to get that cap back minus whatever we need to end up paying the replacement goalie.

 

[McDNicks17]

Seems like a good time to try out an up and coming goalie coach down in Bako and bring up Rodrigue Sr. with Pickard.

"Promote" Schwartz to just scouting and consulting in the meantime.

I am just joking. I think they will have to pull the plug on the season pretty soon.

Chia did that. No lie. Worked his shit remotely near the end of tenure

Well it was Holland with a strong input from Schwartz. Iam sure Dustin will wind up in the Oilers HOF one day

That just makes too much sense. Watch Skinner start on Thursday.

Oh, we all know it was Holland who pulled the trigger, my comment was more rhetorical. Ken is content to sit back and let everyone squirm. He knows it's his last year, and, to use the words of Drai, it's cup or bust. If the team would have come out gangbusters this year and gone all the way to winning the cup, he'd be like a proud papa, thinking this is the best way to go out. But it's looking strongly like a bust, and he can just exit stage left with no repercussions and get the hell out of town.

Cream of condor soup is on the menu.

Oh, you know if things continue to go sideways and with no hope, he'll just hightail it out of town and escape the heat.

I don't think he needs to worry too much. I don't think Katz will let him be fired. Both of these guys have golfed with Wayne??

 

[Ragdoll]

Not to make light of the situation but is there ANY way they can LTIR this guy at some point? He’s always been incredibly hard on himself and it seems to take a toll on him mentally. Didn’t Drouin LTIR himself because of mental health? Is this a route the Oilers could take?

 

[McShogun99]

I wonder if Campbell will get an appreciation thread after we buy him out. Hopefully someone can go thru video of his time as an Oiler and put together a 10 second video of all the saves he made for us.

Just plant some pain killers in his bag like what happened to Richards

That might just be crazy enough to work! You've just been promoted to assistant of hockey ops!
