Weekes: Something happening with Merzlikins?

[ProfessorFink22]

Jarmo has coached him up well on the PR front. But this should 100% viewed as a “I want out” trade scenario despite the PR spin.

I honestly believe the 'mutual' desire part of it. I think the organization (and especially Pascal, based on his quotes) have run out of rope with the comments he's made and some of his antics. I wonder if the Wilson incident was a final straw?

I don't believe he has positive value, and fully expect a bad contract coming back in some way unless it's a package.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Markstrom for Merzlikins?

why would markstrom waive for Columbus? markstrom has to want to win more than anything.

Yeh i would agree. CBJ is done with him and he’s done with CBJ. There’s no way to slice it, at his contract and performance level he should be a negative asset.

Tom Wilson strikes again.

Weekes is a chud now. Not even an insider. Just tweets random speculation that doesn't even mean anything.

A cannibalistic humanoid underground dweller?

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Can't wait for the eventual "Elvis has left the building" tweet.

I’ve definitely seen Weekes’ picture at a Blockbuster Video.

 

[mkatcherin00]

Weekes is as reliable as it gets. Every time he does this stuff something is going on

 

[dirtydanglez]

hed be a good fit for an up and coming team like nj or ottawa

 

[Unsustainable]

Carolina says hi.

 

[Viqsi]

2 1sts before Elvis went out and said he didn't want to be a back up. Now it's 2 for 2

Then it's an incredibly easy no. Campbell and that perpetual contract of horror immediately invalidates it.

Well, yeah. They're not playing him and are clearly looking to go in another direction. I don't blame him.

I don’t blame him or the team either. But let’s not pretend like he’s a goalie worth his high 5.4M cap hit and that he has a trade value close to that.

 

[Draiskull]

Broberg+Campbell for Elvis+Boqvist incoming

Also, Campbell is more than happy to be the backup in Columbus

"I am not a backup" shows self confidence but irks me a bit. How about you let ur play prove that

 

[Spring in Fialta]

It just seems like an odd situation considering (just going by stats here) he's clearly their best option. It also sounds like he loved playing for the Jackets. I don't know shit though.

Well they have Gaudreau don't they

Ohio state fair is one of the better attraction of the last few years.

Also you're out of your mind if you dont think Columbus has a chance with Hanifin and Markstrom.

Key word Hanifin

 

[Vitto79]

I mean who’s gonna take the guy ?

Not less than 1 year ago, Merzlikens was that “perpetual contract of horror” except add 400K.

Merzlikins also had valid recoverable reasons for why he was in such a state. Campbell does not.

Mental issues. Same shit Campbell deals with. And neither has shown to recover from.

I know. I'd happily take a chance on the guy if my team needed a goalie. Except that he's signed for 3 more years after this one! No team can take the risk if he turns into an anchor.

Exactly and that risk is high. And what if he joins a team and starts beefing with their prospects too with his hot headedness, he could kill a locker room with his drama. This guy has negative value.

The difference between Campbell and Elvis is not a 1st. Both have a lot of issues. Both have negative value. One really sucks and one is a headcase right now. Both are overpaid.
