Think you mean LA instead of Carolina, but point still stands as those were the Doughty-Muzzin days.

Oh yeah, you're right. I got Campbell's hot and cold natured jumbled with Anderson's always injured on my mental list of goalies who can't be trusted.


Analytics nerds had lots of data to conclude that Campbell had consistently poor high danger sav%, which should be a red flag for a starter. His record was spectacular though! It's good here too. Just, you can see how the way he has been getting that record is not going to translate to playoff success. He's had the fortune his 2 years of being a 1B at least of playing for teams that can score in bunches.

I was hopeful the analytics nerds were wrong on Campbell. Now back to just wishing the Oilers had a decent analytics department.


Even if you weren't big on analytics, it's funny that some of the emo stuff from his past didn't trigger any red flags for the client. He's shown the death spiral before when he's struggled - being really open about how frustrated he is. I mean, I never liked Mike Smith's habit of blaming his teammates, but at least he had the mental fortitude to fight off a bad goal or a bad game. I'm okay with a goalie who takes the blame to an extent, but Campbell seems to go the extra mile there and really beats himself up about it. I think it leads to these prolonged swoons because he doesn't seem capable of just shrugging off a mistake. That's going to be a big problem.

And yeah - Toronto's defensive structure was good for masking his faults. He was also bad in the playoffs last year - much like Mike Smith just before we signed him from Calgary!
