Campbell’s buyout is actually not too bad this summer. Edmonton would be better off to buy him out rather than gutting their prospect pool. As you said cap is going up.

So you buy out 5 active players, including 2 main pieces of our core, when you have 17m in cap space? Stop being stupid

Agreed. Also why would you want that many buyouts for 6 years?
