This is just a personal opinion/speculation, but what goaltender would want to go there? Campbell was a decent goalie, had no help, strings some losses and has some rough games, and they make him the scapegoat and drop him off of the face of the earth (Bakersfield) and claim he's the problem. What goalie wants to go into that city with that kind of pressure?
And this isn't just Campbell, this has been a problem for YEARS. I don't even want to take the time to label out all of the goalies that have been on that garbage roster and played terribly there because of terrible defense. It's no secret almost all goalies that go from Edmonton to another team play some of their best hockey when they leave the gong show up north.
So, can't say I am "shocked" at all when a goalie utilizes their NTC to not go there.
