Last season he played in 63 games with Buffalo before a trade deadline deal sent him and a 2008 seventh round pick to San Jose on Feb. 26, 2008, in exchange for Steve Bernier and a 2008 first round pick. After joining the Sharks, Campbell posted a six-game assist streak from March 21 to April 1 when he tallied 19 points (3-6-19) in his first 20 games after joining the Sharks. He was among the NHL’s best defensemen and finished tied for third in points (62) and second in assists (53, tied for 12th overall). He also led the NHL in ice time per game (29:19) in 2007-08.

keeps him from going to a rival, plus the Rags overpaying for him. Heres to signing Streit/Orpik.
