Oilers have to spend a 1st to try to get rid of Campbell's contract...
They have $5.4M of dead cap already between bonus overage and Neal's buyout. Buying Campbell out would give them $1.1, $2.3M, and $2.6M for the next three seasons...with the issue being it helps this year but they really can't afford dead cap for 25-26 or 26-27 when the contracts for McDavid, Draisaitl, and Bouchard are up.
