I would think the bare minimum is two first rounders... maybe even three, I think for Saros it would need to be 5-6 first round picks if they plan on Nashville taking Campbell off their hands. Jack Campbell is a boat anchor, and it's obvious other teams know that. He is no longer an NHL goalie, and all the other GMs know that. I don't know if he's even an AHL starter these days.

Especially when you consider that no team getting campbell is likely to roster him, its why i think any deal with him needs to be treated like 2 deals. 1 to deal with campbell, one for the asset. Even if a GM is feeling particularly generous with Kenny, it is still a 1st to take campbell plus probably a 2nd or 3rd for each year left on his deal. Then there is the deal for whatever goalie they are trading for, which is still a deal where the other GM knows they have the oilers by the short and curly's. Not to mention the trade partners are limited to teams that are comfortable backfilling the goalie they move with someone from the farm, because Campbell is probably done playing in the show. Plus, to further how badly over the barrel they are in a trade, most of the goalies that get linked as someone they might trade for have some sort of trade protection and I can't imagine the oilers running campbells career into the ground as hard as they did does much to entice other goalies to give grease a chance.
