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

[Liferleafer]

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.

Bingo. Good post.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

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.

He's officially day to day

 

[Liferleafer]

He's officially day to day

he could be starting tomorrow and i would still be looking to upgrade on Hutch. Hutch is a nice guy, but he's not an NHL goalie...last night proved that. You can't have a 2 goal led with 19 minutes to go and give up 3 goals on 13 shots.

 

[Reaper45]

What about Campbell and Martinez if Toronto is looking for D? He's a lefty who can play both sides. Kapanen would be a good target for the Kings and the Kings can retain...

 

[KingsHockey24]

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

Campbell+Alec Martinez (Rentention) for Kapanen + 3rd.

Yup, neck injury...nothing major.

We've talked before about this. Martinez would not be a target.

I mean I don't like the sound of "Neck injury."

 

[Liferleafer]

I mean I don't like the sound of "Neck injury."

They are saying it's just a stiff neck, nothing strained or any pulled muscles.

 

[inthe6ix]

so basically, nothing new here

Then he should play the ducks

 

[Morgs]

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

Meh. We're already down a 1st this draft and theres like 60 players in this draft that have 1st round production.

If we did it I wouldn't be mad, but I'm hoping it costs a 3rd at most (plus a small prospect add).

Campbell has some term on his contract, worth going up to a 2nd in my book.

No timetable...just that he isn't traveling to New York.

 

[KingCanadain1976]

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

was a 3rd but i would think price gone up could bracco be added?

 

[KingCanadain1976]

Need to keep picks, so move Kap.

done for this king fan Kap for campbell done and done

 

[Liferleafer]

Oh man...you want to open that can of worms on here????

 

[Liferleafer]

Nope....and nope.

You're criminally underrating Jack Campbell.

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

I'm underrating him? His quality start percentage is .350. And his goal saved above average is -4.73 while averaging 28 shots against per game. To compare, Casey DeSmith last year, QS% .600 and GSAA +6.54 who averaged 29.4 shots against.

Campbell is certainly better than Hutch, but he's still a low end backup who will be making 1.6M per at 29, and with little track record.

Anything more than a late 3rd is clearly LA taking the buying GM to the toolshed.

 

[KingCanadain1976]

Nope....and nope.

lol can't blame me for that your fanbase said it not mine

 

[seanlinden]

I know this is going to sound stupid... but can the Leafs afford to spend $1.65m on a backup goalie next year?

 

[Liferleafer]

Outliers are not to be taken seriously....

Cap will go up...so ya, probably.

 

[KingCanadain1976]

It comes down to the fact Bracco has done very little in nhl which is the perfect prospect to be added to this deal. Personally I am not a huge fan however getting him out of leaf nation will stop him from being in every deal i read from your fan base

 

[KingCanadain1976]

i was under the impression he was a leafs fan if i am wrong my apologies
