What, me worry?
I believe Porty said that he would start out as a Monster if he cleared.
Waived: Gregory Campbell placed on waivers

You know, I am as cynical as anyone about the coming season. But I have to admit, that management is making a lot of the moves I wanted to see: clearing out Tyutin, Boll and Campbell; committing to a more aggressive, fast paced style; bring in more and more "kids". Maybe, JUST MAYBE, for once his year will be different and we will exceed expectations.
Dang there I go again, starting to have positive thoughts. The curse of being a Jackets fan.

Hell can freeze over with the Browns still being bad. The Browns contending is well past hell freezing over on the improbable events scale.

Yes I am already starting to feel that these logical moves will bite us in the ass at some point ..

This team has not built up capital in fan good-will, so the fans will turn pretty quickly if there is a prolonged losing streak, especially early in the year. We're all tired of losing, but I am excited by this roster and hopeful that I won't get too frustrated myself if/when they make mistakes that cost games due to inexperience.

Obviously there's some self-interest at work here, but even still this is a pretty class move.

The article states that if he doesn't report he will be suspended. In that case does his 1.3 million still count against the cap?
I would assume Campbell will come around at some point and play. He is no longer a full time NHLer and solid vets are needed in the AHL. Of course if he would rather do something else with his life then that is fine too.

I believe so. Best comparable would be Tim Thomas, who was suspended for failing to report, then acquired by the Islanders with the sole intention of bringing them up to the salary cap floor.

I think it has to, they just don't have to pay him
I would say it's similar to the Redwing who went back to Russia.......they had to unload his contract for cap reasons
Wasn't Tim Thomas under the 35+ rule? Heck those dudes can retire and it counts.
I don't know if it would count against the cap as it would have counted had he reported, but they certainly wouldn't have to pay him. I actually find the cap conversation fairly meaningless, as isn't a big hit anyway. It's like 550k buried. Plus, I'll be amazed if we actually try and add salary/cap space this season.
It means that we could use the cap space as time goes on, all 550k. So as of today, it's meaningless.
I honestly didn't realize Campbell is only 32. Yikes.
Reading that line passage Espen quoted, I think the caphit can count for the purposes of hitting the cap floor but it isn't counted if it brings you over the ceiling.
