Retention on Campbell is pointless cause we’re likely to buy him out plus we don’t have cap issues

Why is Edmonton giving up all their picks unprotected when they're currently bottom 5 in the league? This just spells disaster.

Probably because they think they can/will make playoffs after their turnaround. 5 points out of a WC spot with 2 games in hand. They're not really a true bottom 5 team.

We're 2 games out of a playoff spot, just came off of a 8 game winning streak where it should have been 9 if Skinner was even just average in that Tampa game. There's also two thirds of the year left to go.

I'd feel pretty safe about us not being in the same position by even December 31st. I'd much rather have us give up all of our picks since we can't develop a prospect to save our lives and us playing "conservative" after a rough start while having the best player in the league would be the biggest failure in league history

No point to retain on Campbell but I like it outside of that

Also keep Brown, yes he's been terrible but we have to pay his bonus anyways and he could be valuable on that 3rd line come playoff time
