I maintain he's tradeable because GM's will view this season as a one off and part of an overall team failure this season. The Leafs traded for Matt Murray last offseason after three years of declining stats and much lower probability of turning it around. Oilers signed Campbell to a 5 year contract. Enough said. There's more teams than there are legitimate starting goaltenders in this league so teams will always take a flyer on a goaltender that's got a history of good play. Maybe the team has to eat a bit of money on the contract but I don't see any scenario where they would have to add picks or prospects to sweeten a deal.
