So what is their angle here?
Does sending down Campbell send a message to the team and they ride with a tandem of Pickard and Skinner? Hardly a scary combo.
Or maybe there is a trade in the works? But for who and what?
The Oilers cap situation is atrocious and they staring down the barrel of another 6.5 million in dead cap next year with Campbell and Brown's bonus(He'll never play again though and retire handsomely as some kind of executive with Oilers)
The only trade chips they have are draft picks(which could be high at this point) and Foegele. Not a heck of a lot to chose from.
A couple more weeks like this and this will be real ugly for the Oil.
