I think in that theoretical trade the 1st is more for Carter than it is for Campbell. Carter is on pace for a 20 goal, 50 point season, getting paid 5.27 million for this season and 3 more. I suppose LA does it if they are in full tank mode and trying to clear out cap space for a rebuild.
Carter's remaining years on his contract align with the Flames window, it is an interesting move. It definitely would allow us to have a deep top 9, not sure that package (Smith has no value) gets it done, but I would find Carter intriguing.
