Description
Note: Pickard sent down shows $1.5M remaining to add a goaltender.

Note: Montreal is also absorbing half Campbell's cap for the remaider of this season.
Trades
EDM
  1. Kovacevic, Johnathan
Additional Details:
Premise:
Edmonton pays only a single 1st to unload Campbell, with the understanding Montreal will buy out Campbell, resulting in a 50% split of his buyout cost.
That's $5.25M for each team with the highest single year penalty being $1.3M to each team.

$650k - $1.15M - $1.3M
Followed by 3 years at $750k each.

*The 1st would be lottery protected.
MTL
  1. Campbell, Jack ($2,500,000 retained)
  2. Lavoie, Raphael
  3. 2024 1st round pick (EDM)
Additional Details:
Montreal also exchanges Kovacevic for Lavoie.

Montreal helps Edmonton out of a jam and Edmonton helps Montreal lessen their defensive log jam.

This trade is horrible for Edmonton you realize Edmonton can just buy campbell out at the end of the season and free up 3.9M in cap immediately this trade doesn’t make any sense

Buyout money is dead cap. Even $500k can make a big difference in flexibility, especially pro-rated at the deadline by accumulating space through the season.

This is much cheaper than offloading Campbell completely and returns opportunity cost over buying out his full contract.
There's also enough relief provided this season to upgrade your backup (perhaps more).

This trade is terrible though why would edmonton do this lmao doesn’t make any sense the only way this trade would be fair is if Edmonton isn’t retaining on campbell

Nobody is taking Campbell's full cap hit at that price.
It has merits if you take the time to consider it and look at the numbers.
