Former Maple Leafs Jack Campbell and Dryden Hunt Clear Waivers, Andreas Johnsson on Waivers for Purposes of Contract Termination

The Oilers announced on Tuesday that the goaltender was placed on waivers for the purposes of assignment to Bakersfield of the American Hockey League.

Campbell had a successful tenure with the Maple Leafs from 2020-2022. The goaltender outplayed Frederik Andersen during the 2021 season and set the NHL record of wins to start a regular season at 11 on Apr. 10, 2021.

The goaltender signed a five-year, $25 million deal with the Oilers on July 13, 2022. With Edmonton hoping he'd be their No. 1 solution, he's been anything but, and Stuart Skinner outperformed him for the net last season.

With a $5 million cap hit, the goaltender will still carry a cap charge of $3.85 million with the Oilers while down with Bakersfield of the AHL. The Oilers have three more seasons committed to the goaltender beyond the 2023-24 campaign.

Another former Maple Leaf, Dryden Hunt, cleared waivers as well.

Andreas Johnsson was added to the waiver wire for the purposes of contract termination.

Johnsson began his career with the Maple Leafs when he was selected by the club in the seventh round (202 overall) in the 2013 NHL Draft. Over three seasons in Toronto, Johnsson scored 30 goals and had 37 assists in 125 games before he was traded to the New Jersey Devils for forward Joey Anderson in 2020. 

Them Pengins signed Johnsson to a one-year, $800,000 deal this summer.
