any interest in this exact trade but a swap for Elvis from CBJ? Probably wouldn’t need to retain.

I could see a fit here, since it seems like Elvis and Jack could both benefit from a change of scenery.

Very interesting, and Colin Miller is a good depth D for a playoff run as well

Seems like a great trade for NJ and not a very good one for Edmonton, the Oilers are better off just buying out Campbell in the summer imo.
