<h2>The Edmonton Oilers will consider buying out Jack Campbell</h2> Jack Campbell has been awful this year on the ice. Through five games this year, he has a 1-4-0 record with a 4.50 GAA and .873 SV%. Since his demotion to the AHL, he has a 4.00 GAA and .826 SV% in two games. Those are just about the worst numbers of any goalie this year. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/Sportsnet/status/1721965975715643675'> </a></blockquote></div> Campbell is in the second year of the five-year deal he signed with the Oilers that pays him an average of $5 million annually. It's unlikely that any team around the league will take on this contract for anything less than a huge price. <h2>A buyout might be the only way out for Edmonton</h2> The earliest date that the Oilers can buyout Campbell is June 15th, 2024. If they buy him out at that date they will be on the hook to pay for it for the next six years. The cap hits for the buyout would be as follows: 2024-25: $1.1 million 2025-26: $2.3 million 2026-27: $2.6 million 2027-28: $1.5 million 2028-29: $1.5 million 2029-30: $1.5 million That is certainly not a cheap thing to do and will harm the Oilers' cap structure for more than half a decade. But it might be necessary for the team to move on from him if they can't find a trade partner.
