While there's plenty of blame to go around, there's no questions goaltending is a huge part of the Edmonton Oilers problems this season. Now, the team is taking a drastic step.
The Edmonton Oilers have placed Jack Campbell on waivers for the purpose of sending him to the AHL.
That means he's free for the taking for any team willing to take on his contract, or he clears and is sent to the minors.
Campbell has played five games for the Oilers this season and has just one win. His goals against average is an ugly 4.50, while his save percentage is an equally dismal .873%. The likelihood of any team taking on his $5 million cap hit for this season and another three afterwards are slim to none. It's likely Campbell will find himself riding the bus with the Bakersfield Condors.
