Popular goalie Jack Campbell briefly reunites with former Maple Leafs teammates. Campbell was in Toronto with ex-teammates like Mitch Marner and John Tavares and his new-again teammate Zach Hyman at a gala for the Marner Assist Fund charity.
Part of the money raised will go to mental health initiatives, something near and dear to Campbell.The goalie was trying to skirt the issue of why he left the Leafs for the Oilers. He didn’t want to get into the contract talks with the Leafs. Understandably perhaps because they apparently didn’t go well, and Campbell wears his heart on his sleeve.
But he was happy to talk about his opportunity in Edmonton, where he signed a five-year, $25 million US deal with a cap hit of $5 million, probably just a bit more than the Leafs were willing — or able — to pay. “I’m so excited for my opportunity and so grateful for that and believing in me,” Campbell said of the Oilers. “They’ve got a bright future ahead, I mean, they went to the conference finals. They got all the pieces. They’re only growing. Just super honoured that they believe in me and to bring me in. Just can’t wait to get to work and accomplish our goal.”“I love the fans. It’s tough. I’m going to miss the boys. It’s a special group and I wish them all the best.
