What’s next for the Oilers with Jack Campbell on waivers?
Less than 18 months into a five-year, $25 million deal, Jack Campbell finds himself on waivers. Will he ever play for the Oilers again? How does the move impact Edmonton financially? Oilers reporter Ryan Rishaug joins Jay Onrait to discuss.
Soupy isn't Carey Price. You can't put a defensively shitty team in front of him and expect him to pull miracles out of his ass. Let's see here…your team has a history of "goaltending problems", and both of your current goalies have abysmal stats (despite one of them being a lot better with another team) while facing more quality scoring opportunities in a period than most tendies see in a game. Maybe, and hear me out here, the problem isn't the goaltenders.
With Jack Campbell in the minors does that not to take his $5 million salary off the cap and give them room to work or is it are they stuck with that wherever he is
Remember Mike Smith? The Oilers SWORE he was the problem….fast forward to now? They now have 2 "Problems" (Goalies) I am not a big Stuart fan, I have always been a Campbell fan. I am now accepting the fact that they're both not NHL starting materiel. Campbell having such a juicy contract makes him almost impossible to trade…. I think Campbell would be a good Back up goalie for the Flyers, replace that Emmerson guy. I do think Campbell is better then Stuart…. but him being SO much more money, it makes sense to get rid of him.
Skinner has worse numbers. Everyone in Edmonton listen up. It's. Not. Your. Goalies. Why do the Oilers suck? Because Holland put together a flawed team.
The Oilers were told to upgrade their defense and their goaltending, and they refused, a bunch of people who collect a high wage and no positive results. It's over.
Campbell $5 million per season? Waaaaay over paid! He is not and never will be a #1 goalie. He has proven every where he has played he is a very good back up goalie. Not rocket science. Oilers gm Holland should be fired for paying this back up goalie 3 times than what hes worth! Shame

He’ll go to another team and tear it up, just like every other player that leaves the Oilers.

Oilers management and coaches should be put on waivers… 😂
Not the goalie. Ken holland is the worst gm in the salary cap era. Gotta fix the scheme and the defensive responsibility of the rest of the team.

Campbell is a minor league caliber player
Ryan Rishaug laying it out there. Good interview.
Hmmm why do the oilers keep killing goalies…. Goalie coach??? Same one since 2014 time to change.
This guy sucks .. he’ll see
What’s next? They sell off McJesus to my Rangers!
The Leafs didn't want him. That should have been a huge red flag

Edmonton problems are a lot deeper than goaltending. Coaching, defense and selfishness
Theyre gonna pull up JC Petit from the minors…
