We Finally Know What the Oilers Will Need to Pay to Get Rid of Jack Campbell
Jack Campbell has been struggling this season. Even in the AHL, he hasn't performed well. For a while now, the Oilers management has been looking to ways to get rid of his $5M AAV contract.
Finally, we know what the Oilers will need to do to get rid of him.Oilers Could Trade Promising Young Defenseman to Get Rid of Campbell's Contract
The Edmonton Oilers are determined to offload Jack Campbell's contract. The financial relief that would generate that move could significantly bolster their defensive capabilities, emphasizing the urgency to move Campbell.
Now, according to insider Darren Dreger, the Oilers are prepared to include a significant asset in the trade – former first-round pick: Philip Broberg.
Dreger on Philip Broberg (Insider Trading): «He wants to be back in the NHL, that's not likely in Edmonton unless there is an injury, so trade seems the most likely. Here's an interesting twist, maybe it's not Broberg for an asset coming back to the Oilers. Maybe Broberg becomes the sweetner so that they can also move Jack Campbell's contract to free up a little bit of cap space»»
While this decision carries its share of risks, considering Broberg's potential, if the Oilers are in "win-now" mode, they may find it necessary to pursue such a trade.
