At least they're doing more than Toronto right now since Cliff is only buying out contracts.

I wonder how much Campbell is going to be (over)paid.
I expect him to get over $6 million a year. That's probably much lower than he'll get.

That is exactly what Torontos plan is, and I am perfectly happy with the team rebuilding properly.

He is going to get 8 mil easy
Mike Green got 5.25.
Campbell will get at a min 7.

I expect he'll get about the same, with $6 million being on the low side. It makes me laugh though. I can't help but look at the contracts of defensemen much better than him. Lidstrom, Pronger, Niedermayer, and even Zubov. Of all of them only Lidstrom is making over $7 million.
I just can't make myself believe he's worth it. I know a puck-moving defenseman is something every GM salivates over, but he's very one-dimensional. He's not bad defensively, like some of them, but he's not great. I suppose I might have a different opinion if it was Anaheim who needed him .
SIGH
he better back up pogge or something

So the plan is to tank this year and hope to get the first pick in the upcoming draft for Tavares? Sounds like a solid plan!
The plan is to get rid of shitty old vets and move towards a youth based team.
I cant think of another team that has done this...oh shit EDM did.

To be fair, the players you listed were also signed during years with lower caps.

Campbell is a ripoff at $6mil+. His defense is very questionable at times. Sure he can skate like the wind and join the rush like a 4th forward, but he ends up hurting you that way as much as he helps.
He was never even on Buffalo's top defensive pair, and our top pair blows. That should say a lot. There's a reason Buffalo wouldn't even want him at $5 mil per.

Except the "shitty old vets" that Edmonton got rid of weren't shitty. Pronger and Smyth were far from shitty or old. Edmonton also doesn't have a history of trading a shitload of picks trying to bring talent in (aside from Roloson and for signing Penner).

Exactly, but you know some team is going to pay those kind of dollars. They'll take the hit if they think he can help the team offensively.
