Before his current and soon-to-be reassignment to the AHL, he had been signed less than 18 months earlier. Despite his above average performance in Toronto, Campbell hasn't been able to figure it out in Edmonton.
The goalie has posted an .886 save percentage and 3.53 goals against average during his time in Edmonton, which is well below replacement levels and considering his expensive cap hit of $5 Million AAV, the Oilers have had enough.
A rebuilding team could find an interesting trade partner in Campbell, who recently went on waivers. The Philadelphia Flyers and Edmonton Oilers have discussed the troubled tendy, according to NHL Insider Anthony DiMarco. Could they inquire on Carter Hart and send Campbell to Philly?
