Waived: Gregory Campbell (unconditional - contract terminated)

[caley]

I'm not sure there will be a market for him without significant salary going the other day.

not surprised....Daddy will come to the rescue and get him a job in the DOPS.

If CBJ are willing to eat salary, Chicago could badly use him, their fourth line and PK is a dumpster fire and that is Campbells bread and butter

He would help the PK IMO but at 1.3 million they would need to take salary back.

Perhaps Tootoo and a meh prospect?

 

[Breakers]

Dude belongs in the AHL

He really SUCKS

His cap hit is $1.5 mil http://www.generalfanager.com/players/209

Trade Tootoo for Campbell

Honestly just ask CBJ to eat $500k (33%) and pay for the extra $250k in salary and it likely better suits the team. Throw in a mutant with no future in Chicago like Svedberg

 

[Hally BlackWood]

hes trash. If he doesn't wanna play ahl let him go to russia.

 

[Pia8988]

He in not an NHL caliber player anymore. Will always remember his monster of a PK shift in the 2013 playoffs though.

 

[TheOllieC]

He's awful now, and was awful when they pointlessly signed him to that contract. Not sure why anyone would want him.

 

[DangleCity]

Still living off his broken leg shift

 

[HoseEmDown]

Campbell with 250k retained for Erik Condra?

 

[BLNY]

What are the cap implications for the Jackets (or any team) if a player fails to report and gets suspended by the team? Had he reported, only part of his salary would come off the Jacket's cap. Does his failure to report and subsequent suspension mean that the whole contract is still on the cap?

 

[Flukeshot]

Pretty sure they can suspend him without pay so no reason to make a deal that costs them money in retention

 

[JAK]

watch his dad comes in and declares this suspension unlawful and disbands the CBJs.

 

[A1LeafNation]

If he can't make Columbus, what team does he expect to make?

His dad got him his cup.

 

[Pukboy5kroner]

Just because the Panthers currently lack a Soupy, I'd trade McKegg for him.

 

[Vitto79]

No one will want him for anything more then another cap dump and he would be lucky to spare in the NHL

Thats what I thought too.... Just let him go

 

[teravaineSAROS]

That's kind of a **** attitude thinking he's entitled to be in the NHL. If you think you're above AHL then play like it and earn the roster spot.

I doubt that is the case. You are projecting that onto him. He probably just would rather retire than play in the AHL at this point.

His agent said he doesn't want to play in the AHL because it would take the spot of a prospect trying to make the NHL.

So...he's either being a good guy, or trying to look good.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Chi/CBJ trade?

Campbell (25% retained) for McNeill + Condtional 6th (Becomes a 5th if Campbell plays 40+ games for Hawks)

 

[ThirdManIn]

Agreed.

If he is refusing the assignment just because he doesn't want to ride the bus and play in AHL games, that's fine. I understand. It'd be better to retire, but whatever.

If he is refusing the assignment because he fails to see he isn't an NHL talent beyond a call up for a fourth line role he needs to wake up and get over himself.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

I would just take the 6th.

 

[Woodrow]

But what about the NHL spot he would take from a player.....
