Having a house where a huge amount of America's rich live is bad? Being able to have a house with a backyard and still being a short drive to New york is bad?
Its better then Toronto in every single way with waay less pressure.

The only saving grace for some teams involved in this potential "bidding war" for...Jack Campbell, is that they probably don't have the cap room to "win" his services (if and when it gets goofy). 
But for some of these teams, i don't know what else you do. Just a really bad year to be looking for even "decent" reliable goaltending.

Doesn't Edmonton actually have one of the youngest average ages of any major City in Canada? And probably most of North America, outside the big "College Towns"?

But we get further in handshakes we had 3 last year Leafs 1 but theirs was reported to be much more impressive

Hyman was never mentally weak. One of the tougher, hard-working players Toronto had. The team couldn't afford him or he would have been back for sure.

Edmonton just made the final four with Mike Smith in net. Such a wasteland.

Toronto fans never really wanted to lose Hyman, they had concerns over giving him 8 years for the style he plays which usually wears a guy down. They didn't have the cap space to offer a shorter but higher AAV contract.

If I’m Edmonton, I want nothing do with with Campbell. They should target Husso for whatever it takes.

I don't see why it would be. They're essentially a 2 man team with McDavid Drai.
If it helps - It's McDavid, Drai, and the Edmonton Maple Leafs
Yeah barely losing to a SCF team in Game 7 vs getting swept by a SCF team and getting a free ride to round 3 does that to you
You mean losing game 7 to a stanley cup loser and being swept by a stanley cup winner. Toronto would have found a way to choke no matter who they played. 3-1 lead choke job last year and 3-2 choke job this year. Always next year champ.

Dreger said Oilers willing to go (at least) 5M X 5 for Campbell
Did someone not tell them that Campbell was the worst goalie in the NHL since December.. or is that what they're looking for? Koskinen is leaving, they need another whipping boy
Not really statistically, unless you don't include games played. He always seems to be injured physically or mentally.
What goalie has been a #1 without ever having played 50 games?
Career wise, his stats are similar to Casey DeSmith, same age too. Casey DeSmith just signed for 1.8M X 2 - so how Campbell is worth 5M X 5.. makes no sense.

I mean Campbell is 0-5 in series clinching games himself in the last 2 seasons. Hard to make fun of the Leafs for losing series while trying to sign the goalie that choked the series for that team.

Any GM giving him $6+ and term should be fired on the spot. So the Devs probably will and the fanbase will somehow jump for joy about it....then bitch for years until he is bought out/traded.

If your team needs a goalie that gets all teary-eyed issuing a public apology for a loss after his D breaks down and loses the game for him, Jack is your guy.
Seriously though, he's a nice guy. Way too nice to be a NHL goalie. And the last thing a team like the Leafs need is a goalie who takes the blame when they hang him out to dry. A better option would be a modern Hextall who would rip his teammates a new one if they did that to him.
On the other hand, Jack may have figured out what every other starter finds out playing in Toronto (see above re: hanging him out to dry) and he's intentionally priced himself out of Dubas' range just so he can move on. (In fairness, I said here a few months into the season Campbell was going to walk as a UFA just to get out of that locker room).

You should ask Carolina how they feel about the decision in singing Andersen. Take a look at Freddy's playoff stats while youre at it, and his injury history.

What is it with the Campbell fascination?
Seems like a great person but he's not a #1 worthy of 6M.
I know there's not alot of options but if this is EDM's target rather than a plan B or C... Boy
