Y'all have to much power
The top half wouldn't matter. It would be up to Toronto if they want to let NJ negotiate. Toronto has zero leverage here, Campbell is walking regardless.Valuing "rights" is a little more complicated than that... are you trading for them without negotiation from the player? or you essentially doing a trade & sign.
If New Jersey believes that Campbell is the guy they want in net next year, and Campbell doesn't really want to deal with the uncertainty of unrestricted free agency, it is quite possible that he's amicable to a trade & sign situation with a variety of teams.
If NJ doesn't do it, somebody else might.
NJ could just talk to Campbell during the legal tampering period and ask if he has interest. If so, then work out a deal and cut out Toronto.
