Jack Campbell's contract will be bought out by the Edmonton Oilers
After two challenging seasons with Edmonton, Jack Campbell's career with the Oilers ended, after the team bought out his contract ahead of free agency.
Two years ago, Edmonton signed Campbell, hoping he would be their star goaltender after his success with the Toronto Maple Leafs. However, he struggled, posting a 3.61 GAA and an .886 save percentage over 41 games.
As Stuart Skinner assumed the starting role, Campbell's departure seemed inevitable. Now 32, Campbell's future is uncertain, but he might revive his career away from the intense pressure of the Canadian market. With free agency nearing and teams seeking reliable backups, Campbell could still make a significant impact if given the right opportunity.
Keep an eye on where he heads in the coming days.
