Well played on that Buffalo trade, Campbell term may get people saying no, but has to be rather close for values. Gets Comrie home for a year, and a solid depth dman and get rid of Campbell contract. Interesting

Can’t see why Buffalo would ever do this. Buffalo is going to take a run at playoffs this year and it doesn’t make sense for them to take on 5m salary for the next 4 years on a goalie who had terrible numbers this last season

Buffalo could use a veteran goaltender on the squad. Campbell had a bad year but could bounce back and be a great pairing with Levi.

Campbell isn’t a veteran goalie lol he’s only been a starter for a couple years. There’s tons of veteran goalies out there for league minimum salary. This never happens

I think for the Sabres to take on Campbells contract that 2nd pick needs to be a 1st.
Using Andrew Ladd's $5,500,000 two year AVV as an example, (2021-Jul-17 Traded from New York Islanders with round 2 pick in the 2021 draft (J.J. Moser), conditional round 2 pick in the 2022 draft (Mattias Havelid) and conditional round 3 pick in the 2023 draft (Tanner Ludtke) to Arizona Coyotes for future considerations) the Islanders had to add 2 seconds and a third for Arizona to take Ladd.
Right now four years of Campbell's $5,000,000 salary could cost 4 seconds and 2 thirds.
That would be equal to '24 1st, '24 2nd and '25 3rd.
Edmonton would be better off waiting a year to buy him out or hope he could resurect his mojo.
