I understand the frustration with Campbell, wholeheartedly, I get it. But I think trading him away will be premature given the historical inconsistency of veteran goaltending. In the last 4 years, Jake Markstrom has had 2 seasons below .905 and 2 seasons in the Vezina top 5. Matt Murray was awful for the Senators and Ilya Samsonov was NQO'd by the caps, theyre both .930 goalies this year in Toronto. Pump the breaks on Campbell, hes got a history of success and long contracts rarely show positive dividends in year one. Especially considering the guy you're trading Campbell for in this mock trade is having a terrible season of his own and with the retention factored in, the cap savings are essentially null, plus trading away Puljujarvi when he still definitely has legitimate value given his analytical profile, previous seasons, and impact outside of his end product.

With 5 years term on Campbell's deal, I doubt the Habs will be looking to take him on.

NSH declines. No need to bring on an older player with a bigger cap hit

Habs are not downgrading in goal for a bottom 6 winger they don't need.

We just resigned Allen. Look elsewhere.
