LeBrun: Edmonton and New Jersey are the leading suitors for Jack Campbell

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.

Zero regrets signing Andersen.

I feel bad for McDavid, Campbell is not a #1...

Of the nhl starter goalies with over 38 games played last season, Campbell is 14 (out of 32). He’s a number 1 statistically but he’s not a high end one. Koskinen was 27th out of 32 so it’s a step in the right direction assuming Campbell can achieve similar results behind an arguably weaker defensive team

Campbell has to be a step up on Koskinen and Smith. It would be great if the Oilers could land a guy like Hellebuyck but what are the odds on that?

 

[KingPuckChoo]

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.

Shesterkin **if you excuse his 3 extra games

He would be an upgrade for the Oilers but definitely not the most ideal. There are not many top goalies in the league to begin with though and it is easier said then done trying to acquire them.

 

[Double Dion]

Campbell can play really well. I think when he struggles it's 95% mental. Just gotta get his mindset right and he can be a top 10 goalie. There aren't really any better options out there IMO this offseason.

Shesterkin **if you excuse his 3 extra games

Shesterkin won the vezina though and put up way better career numbers than Campbell.

Campbell and DeSmith are the same age with the same career numbers (DeSmith having .001 better save percentage over his career) and DeSmith just signed as a UFA for 1.8M x 2. Yet, Campbell will get 5M+ X 5? It doesn’t make sense to me. Unless the name recognition from Toronto increases your value that much.

the statement question was, who's a #1 without playing 50 games in a season?

the answer, if you accept 53 gp, is Shesterkin

that is all i said
