From Michael Russo at Russo’s Rants in the Star-Tribune, a rather vague report:
A player just told me Atlanta offered Brian Campbell a contract worth $60 million. Not sure of years, but I think seven.
Make of that what you will.
Update 2:10pm ET: Bruce Garrioch throws the Blackhawks into the mix:
Campbell to Chicago?
That’s the talk. The hawks are being aggressive and are moving towards a deal.

So a $8.57M cap hit when Campbell’s 36? Waddell’s a genius.

Garrioch says Chicago? So that narrows it down to one of the other 29 teams.

Campbell is one of those guys who will cash in big time this year, multiplying his salary 5 or 6 fold. This probably means that the closest he will come to a Stanley Cup was with the Sabres last year (07).

He’d be stupid to go to a team like Atlanta. Re-signing Kovalchuk may be an issue and if that’s an issue, who are they going to build around? Brett Sterling? Erik Christansen?
