What about Jack Campbell? Serious question.
How could this be a serious question?

Stunk it up massively in Edmonton, entered the player assistance program, hasn’t played a game all year…if Carolina just wants to add a random cheap goalie there are other guys without that baggage they could add.

Why on earth would they be interested in him?

I've wanted to see what Gibson could do on a better team. If Anaheim takes 50% (which they likely won't) I'd listen.
Always wanted Gibson to come back home but the idea I had in my head was the Pens fire Sully this past summer, get Gibson for Jarry ++ and he bounces back with the new coach and a Pens team with more youth in the line up. Ah well...Gibson would be an incredible add for anyone. Surprised the Avs haven't made a play for him yet.

Not really when you consider the Canes don't really want Ned, particularly with a 2nd year on his deal
Yes, the question becomes does Carolina want to plan on Kochetkov / Nedeljkovic next year? If not, that is a $1.35M cap hit to bury Nedeljkovic.

If they are making a multi-year move I think they aim higher. If they make a single year move it could be anyone with equipment.

Ned is definitely not the answer but Canes do need to do something here. Already 2 or 3 games have been lost this year because Martin was in net instead of Kochetkov or a competent goaltender. Canes are scoring consistently this year but can’t outscore this problem every night especially against good teams with good goalies.

The sooner they find a solution the more cushion they can add to their point total
