Could the Oilers be finished with Jack Campbell after this season
The Toronto Maple Leafs enjoyed a successful run with Jack Campbell during his short stay. After Kyle Dubas refused to extend the popular goaltender, he explored his options in free agency, signing with the Edmonton Oilers for 5 years and $25 million.
He didn't achieve the results he was expecting in his first season with the Oilers, as his GAA dropped to just under 4.00, his SV% fell below .900, and he failed to record a shutout.
Jack Campbell was widely expected to take the starting role, but Stuart Skinner took over quickly. Although his record was 21-9-4, he ended the season with a 3.41 GAA.
Reports indicate that the Edmonton Oilers are interested in recently-traded goaltender Casey DeSmith.
They are equally looking at options to get rid of Jack Campbell. Casey DeSmith, currently with the Montreal Canadiens, is being rumored as a potential replacement for him.
