Sportsnet: Luke Fox: Leafs have kicked tires on Jack Campbell

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Luke Fox recently wrote an article for Sportsnet, in it he has Sportsnet has Learned that the Leafs hve kicked ties on Jack Campbell.

Now I don't think Freddie's injury has much to do with that, I think they have probably. been talking about him for a while, but I wouldn't be surprised if talks picked up now, although to be fair we don't know how bad Freddie injury all we know is he passed concussion testing last night.

Eight goalie trade options the Maple Leafs should explore - Sportsnet.ca

Article lists eight potential targets, but has this spiel on Campbell:

Jack Campbell, Los Angeles Kings

With veteran Jonathan Quick signed to a nearly impossible-to-trade contract and 25-year-old Cal Petersen knocking at the door, the rebuilding Kings might be willing to part with Campbell.

We’ve learned that Dubas has kicked tires on the 28-year-old, who carries a friendly $675,000 cap hit this season, before his raise kicks in. Campbell’s AAV goes up to $1.65 million for 2020-21 and 2021-22.

Not gonna lie had to google to see who Jack was. Leafs are in trouble if Freddie is out. Is there not any better options out there?

 

[Bazeek]

Dubas confirmed Campbell's sidewall to be in good shape. Questioned the wear on the tread.

Campbell is cheap , signed for 2 more years and used to playing behind a team that hangs him out to dry regularly while still not looking awful . Sounds ideal to me for the Leafs.

Kings do know Leafs are deperate for a backup so i don't think the price will be cheap.

3rd+? 2nd? Talk to me Kings fans.

Jack Campbell is a very very good backup he wouldn't just solve their backup issues now.

Andersen/Campbell would be rock solid next season

Need to keep picks, so move Kap.

Well whether Freddie is out or not Campbell might be a good piece to add regardless then his cap hit is certainly favorable as well.

 

[Morgs]

He'd be my target.

But that's assuming we can get him at a reasonable price. Aka at max a 3rd+something small

 

[leeroggy]

Greiss and Dal Colle for Kapanen! Fire up the fax machine Kyle! Lou to the rescue!

 

[Liferleafer]

No, you don't trade Kapanen for a backup goalie...you trade him for defense.

 

[BlueBaron]

I did not realize he had so much term. Seems like our best options.

 

[Liferleafer]

He'd be my target.

But that's assuming we can get him at a reasonable price. Aka at max a 3rd+something small

I'd go as high as a 2nd...kid is good.

 

[Cotton]

4th round pick should do it.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Campbell+Lewis for Kapanen/Johnsson

100% agree it's not just about this season still need a team for 20-21 and you can do A LOT worse thn Andersen and Campbell

 

[Fatass]

No, you don't trade Kapanen for a backup goalie...you trade him for defense.

Good point.

 

[KingsHockey24]

4th round pick should do it.

You're criminally underrating Jack Campbell.

He's in his prime years and signed to a great contract. Easy pass.

 

[Flyer lurker]

Campbell is cheap backup and if f Anderson was healthy it is fine. If Anderson is out say 3 weeks these next games against poor competition become more scary.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

4th round pick should do it.

It would already be done

 

[Liferleafer]

Campbell+Lewis for Kapanen/Johnsson

Just interested in Campbell, not looking to expand. Kap/Johnsson will be used in a separate deal to acquire D.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

No, you don't trade Kapanen for a backup goalie...you trade him for defense.

Pretty much this.... if your moving kapanen for a back up your doing something wrong.

And most backups are going to struggle behind that defense... fix the defense with your better assets, and look for a goalie you can get for a 3rd or 4th.
