The NHL compliancy buyout window is set to open, and many felt that the Edmonton Oilers would buy out Jack Campbell. But according to 32 Thoughts podcaster Elliotte Friedman, the Oilers are going to make it attempt to trade him.
Some fans have speculated that only San Jose would be able to acquire the whole of Campbell's contract, and the team needs a goalie too. If the Oilers attached a quality player like Ryan McLeod, perhaps the Sharks would eat all of Campbell's contract. The Oilers would get almost nothing in return.
It remains to be seen on what will happen, but with Jeff Jackson now the CEO and president of hockey operations, it's likely that Jack Campbell will remain with the Oilers if a trade cannot be done.
