2 Teams That Could Acquire Oilers Jack Campbell

Chicago Blackhawks

While the Blackhawks have had no success this season, and likely won’t have any for a while, they could find themselves in a better position moving forward with a veteran goalie that can actually keep a majority of the pucks out of their net, unlike their current tandem. This trade goes down if Campbell has less value than I realized, and the Hawks ask for an attachment behind taking on such a big contract

There is a lot going on here. The Oilers get their left shot D man they’ve been looking for, along with a physical-sided forward that adds to their stacked depth up front. The Blackhawks take on a bad contract in Jack Campbell but pick up a potential project in Jesse Puljujarvi, and two draft picks. The 2023 draft class is expected to be one of the most stacked classes ever, so the pick has a ton of value, even if it becomes a late-round selection.

The Oilers have been connected to both Domi and McCabe, while the Blackhawks have been connected to Campbell and Puljujarvi in the past. While this deal may seem far-fetched, it could make sense if Ken Holland has another cheap backup goalie option lined up to acquire from another team.

I will say this, the Oilers will likely be hanging on to Jack Campbell FOR NOW. The hot streak he’s on may have saved him from being sent to the minors, but if he falls back into an inconsistent type of gameplay, these are two potential moves I could see happening.
