It’s the beginning of September and I’m just starting to comprehend that Jack Campbell is no longer with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
It made a lot of sense why the Toronto Maple Leafs didn’t re-sign Jack Campbell this offseason.
At 30-years-old, Campbell only has 135 career starts under his belt and although he’s been good at times, he also hasn’t done anything spectacular. Sure, he was named as an NHL All-Star last year, but after getting that nod, he turned into one of the worst goalies in the league for a long stretch.
Spending $5M AAV for the next five years was a big price to pay Campbell, especially when the team decided they could get two quality (hopefully) goaltenders for basically the same price.
