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

[Liferleafer]

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

Well then, 3rd+Bracco it is.

 

[Liferleafer]

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

I'm not sure if he is, or isn't....but he's been posting Kapanen for backup goalies in multiple threads...so he shouldn't be.

 

[KingCanadain1976]

Well then, 3rd+Bracco it is.

pleasure doing business with you

 

[Blueboy]

Bracco+4th for Campbell

No way a 3rd

Easy peasy

Every fan base has its extremes ( a good part of the kings fan base will say i m it for them lol not that i care) My curiosity would the leaf be interested in one Kyle Clifford for cup experience locker room culture and physical on ice who can score ?

Clifford has a career high of 21 points. No one should looke at Clifford as a guy who can score.

he play less the 10 mins a games most nights show me a 4th line player on the leafs that does this Also plays a 2 ways game. Most important he ll stand up for his team mates something the leafs desperately need imo

 

[izzy]

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?

campbell is a very solid goalie

 

[Jumptheshark]

Just curious - Link?

he is not the first

Out of Edmonton both Ched and tsn 1260 suggested the Leafs will be looking at him

I don't think that a player who plays 10 minutes a game is something the Leafs should be moving Kapanen for. He won't be on the ice enough to make a difference.

and where did i ask or Kap for Cifford ? stop making up stuff

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Doesn't surprise me, but Campbell's value has a ceiling.

Great! Thanks!

I was just following the quote chain that you replied to...

 

[GoldenBearHockey]

IF Toronto was going to deal Kapanen, it would be something like Kapanen and Ceci (insert cap dump) for Campbell, Martinez, and a someone like a Brickley, or a Clague, etc, otherwise it doesn't make sense. But this kills two birds for TOR one stone, etc.

 

[Telos]

Jack Campell for Matt Frattin, Ben Scrivens, and a 2nd round draft pick in either 2020 or 2021.

 

[Recipe Unlimited]

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

Realistically no. Kings should be retaining 50% on this, especially if the Leafs are willing to drop a 3rd+

 

[Kurrilino]

He'd be my target.

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

 

[Kurrilino]

Bracco+4th for Campbell

No way a 3rd

Easy peasy

Yeah.. ahhmmm.. you better look somewhere else for a goalie

 

[Kurrilino]

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

Make it a flat 2nd without anything attached and he is yours. If needed, ad some cap dump and make it 2nd + 3rd

 

[seanlinden]

Realistically no. Kings should be retaining 50% on this, especially if the Leafs are willing to drop a 3rd+

That concept brings up a couple of further questions.

1. Completely factual, can a team retain salary on a contract that has not started?

2. If the answer to #1 is yes, given that Campbell's contract is 2 years, is the improvement in value you get from him by retaining worth giving up one of your 3 retention slots for the next 2 years? I'd suggest that Jeff Carter would be an ideal candidate for retention... maybe even Dustin Brown.

That being said, if I'm the Leafs, I'd easily trade Columbus' 3rd, Bracco, and one of Toronto's late picks this year for Campbell 50% retained.

 

[Liferleafer]

the only dump we have is Ceci. And honestly, we can't move him unless we have another deal lined up for D. But ya, that works for me.

 

[jaric1862]

Timashov/Bracco + 2021 2nd or 2020 3rd pick is probably the best the leafs could do

Trading an NHL goalie? Don't expect to hit a home run - a history of mediocrity - TheHockeyNews

A 6 year old article, but still pretty true. Getting the 9th overall pick for Schneider ends up being great for the Canucks, and the Devils barely got a playoff game in the Schneider era. Not all his fault, but hindsight being what it is, what was the point? That's the fickle problem with goalies.

I would very much doubt there will be any home run hit in value for Campbell. They won't get less than they gave up to get him, which was basically nothing, but they're not getting anyone young that can step right into the lineup. He hasn't even played 60 games. Varlamov was younger with as much experience when the Avs traded for him. The Caps got a 1st in 2012 when they traded him in June 2011, not knowing it would end up as either the 11th overall, or as Forsberg. They got very lucky on that.

 

[PhiladelphiaKessel]

Campbell+Lewis for Kapanen/Johnsson

Since when are top 6 forwards traded for backup goalies ? Lewis does nothing for us
