Brian Campbell gets over $56 million over 8 years averaging out to $7.1 million a season. Is he the best defenseman in hockey? I don't think so. He has a middle of the road season and now he joins a talented Chicago group that will probably inflate his numbers and make it look like he deserves the money.

Look, if you are going to pay $56 million to a guy, and again Im not dissing Brian Campbell but geez, his 62 points ranked him 4th in the league in points amongst defensemen and he was a plus 8. Good numbers, but the contract again speaks to how this league is going off the deepend again.

Mark my words, if the contracts keep coming like this, expect another lockout.
