Doesnt fix the defence and Campbell will be bought out so its bad asset mgmt wasting a 1st when he costs 1.5M AAV bought out.
Better served using the 1st to trade for Ferraro instead.

I would bet Barabonov would mesh better with Oiler top 6 better then Duclair. Ferraro is an interesting add

I must say the logic on this site is impeccable. Goodrow is a overpaid but serviceable bottom 6 F, and everyone says it will cost a first to dump his contract (3.6) but a 5 mil dollar ahl goalie somehow easily goes for the same or even less.
Secondly why would a team waste the picks to dump contract when it is manageable to buy them out? 🤔

Just making conversation, that’s all.

Albatross contracts depend on total dollars it will cost the owner. According to Seravalli, every 5M of real dollars is a 1st was the approx. rate. I don’t know the ins and outs of Goodrows contract but I sure as hell wouldn’t take the rumour mill from a website as the going rate between NHL GMs.

Manageable sure, but I remember listening to Rishaug last year saying Katz (Oil Owner) was tired of constantly having buyouts on the books. Maybe he still feels that was and doesn’t want a 1.5M hit for 6 years.
