Jack Campbell Placed On Waivers By Oilers
1 year agoEdmonton Oilers goaltender Jack Campbell has been placed on waivers for the purpose of assignment to the American Hockey League's Bakersfield Condors. The Oilers will be on the hook for a $3.85 million cap charge if Campbell goes unclaimed on waivers which is extremely likely considering his salary and performance during his Oilers tenure. The 31-year-old signed a five-year, $25 million contract with the Oilers prior to last season but struggled to a 3.41 goals-against average and a .888 save percentage across 36 contests while losing the starting job to rookie Stuart Skinner. Campbell has posted a 4.50 GAA and .873 Sv% across five games for the struggling Oilers this season, going just 1-4-0 in the process. He will look to get his game turned around in Bakersfield while Cal Pickard is likely to be recalled to take his spot in Edmonton.
