[Proposal] Vancouver and Edmonton

[Rocket-68]

Yes, the Coilers and do we really want to help them? It is a slow day today so musing a bit. Oilers need to move Jack Campbell's contract to free up cap space to try and acquire a legit #1 goalie.

 

Came across an interesting story where the Oilers are apparently willing to add Phillip Broberg as a sweetener to move Jack Campbell's contract

So, 

 

To: Vancouver 

Jack Campbell

Phillip Borberg

 

To: Edmonton

The much travelled Future Considerations ... who knows what that is

 

In parallel, Vancouver then moves Jack Campbell to a team that will take him for the purposes of buyout but retains 50% of the salary on JC along with a low round pick.

 

Is this something Vancouver would even consider and if so, where would Phillip Borberg fit in given he may even be considered a bit of reclamation project. I think he has a bit of upside but has to be measured against what is in the pipeline.

 

Who says no? I would lean Vancouver would but interesting concept.

Too much risk in being stuck with Soup.

 

Plus fuck Mcbaby.

First off, it'll take way more than that to for Edmonton to dump Campbell.  Vancouver wouldn't touch this.  

 

Second. Cap?  The only reason the Canucks have any cap space right now is Soucy is on LTIR. Vancouver could technically fit Campbell's contract atm, but as soon as he returns from injury (let's say in a month) the cap space goes away and Vancouver would have  huge problem

Ya, the only way this could remotely work is to have another team in on the buyout and at 50% retention would look like for Vancouver:

 

 

Not too sure about the cap hit on buyout or when that starts. Is it possible to immediately buyout someone mid-season? It pretty sure one can.

 

Anyway, interesting concept.

There are two buyout windows in the offseason.  That's the only time you can buy out a player.  So this isn't really a workable scenario at all unless you're sending offsetting cap the other way

Thanks for clarifying so this is a no go then mid-season as Campbell Soup would be on the book in some fashion of the other with dead space.

Awful proposal. There’s also a reason Broberg is in the AHL and not the NHL. It’s not like he’s a can’t miss prospect! To take on Campbell’s 5 mill cap hit for a prospect Dman who isn’t looking great and has requested a trade. We don’t have the cap space for this trade and quite frankly I would only think about Campbell if they attached Broberg and 2 1rst round picks. Remember Campbell is in the AHL and isn’t even doing good there!

And just think, it wasn't long ago where some folks were drooling over the chance of drafting him too!
