Jack Campbell (#LAKings)
2 yrs two-way @ $612,500
2016: $575,000 NHL | $100,000 AHL

Campbell is a former first round pick of the 2010 NHL Draft by the Dallas Stars. Los Angeles acquired the goaltender from Dallas in a trade that took place in June that involved Nick Ebert.
The 24-year old spent last season with the AHL Texas Stars and the ECHL Idaho Steelheads. In the ECHL he posted a 14-5-1 record.
Campbell will most likely start the season with the Ontario Reign and will get a chance to play for Los Angeles if there are some injuries to the goaltenders in front of him.
