Edmonton Oilers BUYOUT Jack Campbell | Free Agent TARGETS | RFA Update 

We need to bring back Bown and Janmark

Poor Jack 😔. Rich Jack 😊.

The George Costanza in all of us applauds Jack Campbell at this moment. The Summer of Soup! ps. Thanks, O.F., for putting out content this holiday weekend. Most pleasant to listen to this Monday morning in my cave/shop/garage.

No Debrusk plz, hes always been inconsistent and doesnt play hard every game. Boston not re-signing him should say a lot because they are short on offense

Oilers, I have to say, as a Calgarian I cheered for Florida. After seeing their disgraceful display of insobriety parade, including Paul Maurice (who I also wanted to win his first cup). HIS cussing, his public display which may have included some alcohol was unacceptable. Players with chains like rappers, some with no shirts...I can only say I'm sorry you didn't win the cup because I saw how your fans reacted to the loss (unlike Vancouverites). And I think your Players/Team would've given the Florida Panthers a lesson in accepting the coveted trophy. My sincerest apologies from a loyal Flames fan. I hope Paul Marice never has the chance to stand on stage and repeat that ever - ever again. His language wasn't acceptable, we're all not in our 20's. Please accept my apology and this Flames Fan prays you win it in 2025.

The players would be nice but concessions at 50%, that would fill seats (and bathrooms). Great vid as always Patrick. Take care all.

Love your channel ! Let's go Oilers ! 🧡🏆💙🎉🥳

I wish Campbell would’ve had the opportunity to play with the revamped, defensive, post-November Oilers, rather than that sieve he had to deal with. Either way, the cap savings will pay for Brown’s bonus and now we will see how creative Jeff Jackson gets. Thanks for the update, Patrick!

That's the biggest thing wrong with the NHL, every contract is guaranteed which is stupid, if you ain't good enough, thanks for coming out, just like in the real world.

Thanks for your update Patrick. What about Kane? Interesting targets.

No to deBrusk. We already have no-hitters in McLeod and Nuge. We need more physical players not more passengers.

Happy Birthday, Pat!

Hi Patrick happy birthday🎉🎉. From mypoint of view, we lost the cup by taking more hits than throwing them. Thats a fact and our stars got injured from that, so they couldn't do their best playing! We had a great powerplay during the season, best penalty killing in the league and playoffs, good offense, only three defenders in Bouch and the 2 Vikings and no big Bob in goal. So what do we have to search ?! Defender, tall, massive checker, bodyguard mentality for McD and Drai, also for Hyman. 2 of them. We also need long time winger for Drai in the second line to create a secondary which are able to win a game on her own too! Third with Janmark, Mcloud and Brown for killing the opponent game, 4th a checking line. But the first problem is the Drai contract!!! If this problem will be solved we can do strategic solutions to solve the other problems... . Hope all could be done and we all want to get the cup now more than ever.

Happy Birthday Patrick.🥳🥳🥳

I am dying of anxiety since they haven't signed any of their UFAs after Pickard...

Want to see some of our guys come back. Brown, Janmark and Henrique for sure. Maybe Perry too. Maybe Foegele. But you can't keep everyone. Keep Kane. Keep him healthy. Too bad Campbell didn't turn out to even be one-third as good as the Hyman signing. Not too thrilled about Ken Holland leaving. We had a lot of good pieces already in place when he arrived, but he put the rest in place and that brought us to within one or two goals of winning the Cup. He showed a lot of patience letting Bouchard develop and giving Brown time to fully recover from his very serious knee injury. Added Kane to the mix. Corey Perry brought Cup experience. Henrique was a very good addition. Stayed with Skinner too. Except for Campbell can't think of any really bad decisions he made. Knoblauch is Jackson's coach. Not sure I like the idea of the new GM being Jackson's 'guy'. Don't want a 'yes' person there. Whoever it is can he/she take us to the point where we're back in the Cup final and it's the opponent who needs to find extra goals somewhere? Remains to be seen. Hopefully, we'll be 'parade' happy with what we see. And that person better really know their s**t when it comes to the cap. How all this plays out will tell us a lot about where the Oilers are as an organization. And will Leon remain an Oiler. Big round of applause for Ken Holland. One other thing. A lot of fans seem to get their jollies ragging on one or two players. But it took every player on that team to get us oh so close to that Cup win. And the Dynamic Duo did nothing the last two games. Okay Florida played them well and played them hard. But it seems like the last couple of years we've been cursed by injuries to our best players. Nonsense. Come Cup finals everyone has an injury of some sort. Hell, I have injuries just from rooting for the team. The living room wall body checks me, and the computer gives me a face wash every now and then. I need the summer to recover.

Campbell would make an elite ringette goalie

warren foegele has the same numbers as Jake d.

The only way to land a guy like Stamkos, given their cap situation, is if he takes a noteworthy discount, feeling this team is 1 or 2 pieces away from winning the cup. I really don't see Stamkos coming to a Canadian market, but, anything can happen too. I think the most realistic name, would be DeBrusk. I'm sure he sees how close this team is, has his dad in local media, born in EDM. I think it would be a perfect time for Jake to work out a deal to come home, and he could make a nice difference. 🍻

We definitely should look at trading Nurse. This is a contract that is and will never age well. Such a shame that Peter C did this .mi hope we don’t make the same mistake with Bouchard. He is NOT worth 10 million dollars. Sucks about Campbell but we needed a goalie and he came off a hot year in Toronto. Sure it costs us 1.5 in dead cap space for three years but we benefit huge for the first three years and the cap will go up by then anyway.m

I think Hyman and Barrie sold the idea of getting Campbell to oilers management. Heard hes a great guy. But that was awful signing.

No Toffoli is slower than Gagnier constantly the LATE man on attack mode Walker would be a good add

pull a Tampa and Vegas and put Kane on LTIR; put that 5 mill to good use and unleash a healthy raring to go Kane for the playoffs.

Trade Jack and nurse and get whatever you can that’s 14 million for 2 bench warmers

Janmark and Brown kept us going in the playoffs. I wish they were played more instead of overplaying the big money players.

I would try to unload Nurse

I’d rather risk it for Jake Debrusk over resigning Janmark. But man that’s coin toss to me. Debrusk seems like the better fit, but Janmark hit his full potential with us.

Really disappointed that Edmonton didn't make any trades to free up cap space

I hope debrusk doesn’t go to Calgary. ABC. I also think the Oil would be crazy to trade Kane. Unless the team knows something we don’t, Kane brings an element that no other Oiler does. Someone else mentioned to get rid of McLeod and I concur. To be even a 15 goal scorer he has to go to the blue paint and he’s a good checker but he never touches anyone and I don’t believe either of those attributes are in his DNA.

I hope my Canucks pick him up on league min and goalie guru Ian Clark fixes him. He can be a decent back up if he gets his confidence/game back. Low risk high reward for the Nucks if they try.

I have a feeling that Draisaitl will get traded to a team in the east this year. I love Draisaitl he is one of my favourite players, but (for the sake of the team as a whole) I would not be opposed to a trade because it would allow the Oilers to bring in two or three solid players to create more depth. I don't think Edmonton can afford to have two Superstar salaries.

Please no more soft players and Jake DeBrusk is a soft player!

I hope the Oilers can find a cheap value deal or prove me deal tomorrow, but I don't have faith in the intern GM (CEO) to do this job. I believe Kane will be brought out or place on LTIR if he can't keep healthy.

Finally Campbell saga is done. Never a #1 goalie. Shame . No need would trade for him knowing they can get him while being subsidized by the oilers without costing them. Holland era is over and now it’s time to see what Jackson can do. Broberg and Hollywood are good young players. Love to see Vinnie stay. Thanks for the update

Couldnt they renegotiate Nurse term and make him a life time Oiler?...Stretch out the current 6 years remaining to 12 years and make his cap hit $4,650,000? Is this possible?.

Lol who the hell would actually want to take Campbell?

What’s with all this talk about signing free agents? Managements first priority should be to resign our own free agents. Especially Henrique, Janmark and Conner Brown who were arguably the oilers best line in the playoffs.

How can you feel bad for Campbell? He took his $19M from the oilers and did nothing.

Only original 6 teams matter in reality.

Matt Roy?! No fucking way.

On Jack Campbell: His only problem is between his ears. And that is not meant to make fun of him. He has the skills and tools to be a decent NHL goaltender. But he cannot get out of his own head. Whether that is emotional/mental issues he has, or whether he just needs to sit down (on a long-term basis) with a good sports psychologist, Jack could end up back in the NHL one day if he gets himself straightened out, and I wish him well. As far as your comment about him not being a starting goaltender at the NHL level, any goalie who starts an NHL regular season or playoff game, IS an NHL Starting Goaltender, so I believe you misspoke; you likely meant you believe he isn't good enough to start a majority of the seasonal games for an NHL team, and I'd agree with you except with the caveat that if he gets himself some psychological help he does have the ability to be an NHL starter, whether that is a #1 goalie or a tandem goalie. Again, wishing Jack the best. One more thing; I would not be surprised to see James Hamblin be the Oilers #4 LWer this next season, he already has NHL experience, he penalty kills, he is tenacious, and he is cheap - what more can he do?

Nurse is the wurst

They should get stamkos.

I wish they gave soup the same chance as skinner. He never got a chance to play with coffees better D system. I bet he would have been as good or better then skinner. they had the same stats from the beginning of the year till the coach change. 100% IF another team picks up campbell he becomes a top 10 goalie. ITS THE OILERS WAY!

Yes to Debrusk,Monahan,Martinook, Perron if the price is right. Chandler Stevenson is intriguing. Henrique, Jeff Skinner are hard no. Stampkos is a pipe dream. Sean Walker would be a upgrade on Ceci & Matt Roy would be a nice depth deal but Ottawa is going to be in on those guys & they have more cap space. I don't see a realistic rhd upgrade in the ufa market thats in our cap space imo. Like Montour would be a fantastic addition yet not likely realistic. I think the Oilers are going to need to trade for that position to be upgraded upon imo,much like Utah did. Exchange Nurse in a 3 way deal for either Trouba (1st choice) & Ekblad ( 2nd choice) I'd prefer if the Oilers would grab a up & comer like David Jiricek from CBJ. A sleeper & under the radar move imo.

I don’t know what the oilers analytic department was looking or I guess not looking at Campbells advanced goalie analytics I know Patrick you and I talked about this but Campbell’s analysts showed he was the bottom quarter of the league barely making passing as a backup and had one of the worst goals saved above expected he was the worst goalie available that summer, happy to see him gone as we never need to talk about him again, yes he his amazing human but not a nhl goalie

I guarantee ceci is moved tomorrow and Debrusk and carrier are Edmonton oilers by Tuesday

Need to move Nurse

Jack Campbell did not get a full 2nd chance. Oilers are in a win now mode and Campbell was not the right goalie for that situation either. Caampbell played very good in reserve last eyars playoff coming in for Skinner. Im happy Pikard became what Campbell could of been. Campbell's contract is just an example of why not to give goalies long term contracts whrn they havent fully proven themselves. Just noy a bar GM decision. With Campbell well. He was a good guy. I hope he gets a 2nd chance with a team who can give him some playing time so he can still play in the league.

No to Perron and Skinner. They wouldn’t fit in with this team. I know Kane makes over $5million a year and sat in the press box for the finals but the guy still score 25+ goals in the regular season with a sports hernia and couldn’t really contribute in the playoffs as he couldn’t play his game. Healthy Kane in the top 6 would provide 35+ goals in the regular season and would be the guy we had two years ago in the playoffs. Brown and Janmark need to be the third line pairing and whoever they get at center would just have to win the faceoff and get open.

Trade Nurse, the contract is killing their ability to build a cup winning team. Retain if we have to but send him down the road

Lot of dead money for a couple years

Get rid of McLeod

If people turn on players who aren't playing their best, why would these players care about fans? Nurse must hate Edmonton.

Buyout Nurse too, he sucks!!

Edmonton can't afford half of these guys lol

It wouldn’t hurt my feelings any if Kane goes, he’s been injury prone since the oil required him and there were times when players were arguing with him on the bench during the regular season. I don’t think Kane is happy here in Edmonton anymore, I’d like to see him go inplace of getting more grit /toughness.

Useless contract

If the oioers buy out Campbell jeff Jackson needs to be fire you don't go back to the same bunch we never see the playoffs no more oilers done the oilers are in cap hell oilers needs ro get big not small

Poor Deadmontonian Chokers. Almost feel sorry for them. But then I remembered the scumminess of the franchise.

Jack Campbell should have been traded , getting something out of all those free millions wasted . silly GM move , wrong buying him out . leave him in Bakersfield to get better . paying him anyway .

I can be a better person for $19 million dollars. 😂😮😅😊

Feel bad for him. I wish I got paid that for doing nothing. Pro sports is a joke

Why are you whispering...
