Campoli signs 1-year deal for $1.4M, avoids arbitration

Well, I don't know if you've acknowledged this but Karlsson played some of his best hockey with Campoli when they both played top minutes. And he was injured? Yikes.

Make that 4 million.

I didn't realize that, no. I guess that was one of those things that happened last year when Kuba went down for the count. Again, looking forward to seeing what Campoli can do. They thoughts of him getting 3 million are a little premature, but if he and Karlsson get to see significant ice together, his stock will indeed rise quite dramatically.

at 26 years old and 5 seasons in the NHL with a one year contract, it is now or never for Campoli. With the d-men we have waiting in the wings, he either becomes an NHL defencemen (gets more than 18 points and 16 pim) or goodbye. 1.4 million is a lot of money for anyone-time to actually earn it.

Exactly.

I don't disagree, but compare that to Lee and Karlsson making $1.3M their first shot at the can. Or, if you dare, compare to Jeff Finger @ $3.5M. There are lots of contracts out there a lot worse than paying Campoli $1.4M.

Of course, if he's the 7th D and rarely sees action, then that spot would be better served by Gryba making $622.5K.

i like campoli and what he brings to this team at that price. he wouldn't have been my 1st pick in which players we could trade.
at that price lets see if he can prove he can take it to the next level.

so when are we putting up a new topic for what our expectations are for next year? too soon? the summer is way too long...

Still can't get over that one ... always a good thing when the Toronto Make Beliefs screw up like that
