History
2007-08: Campbell played alongside fellow Los Angeles draftee Wayne Simmonds for Sault Ste. Marie of the OHL. He was second on the team for defensemen in goals (13), assists (22) and points (35) while skating on the top defensive pairing.
2008-09: Enjoyed an up and down year in his season of professional hockey with Manchester. Posted only 8 points in 72 games and looked out of place and out of position on the ice at times. Showed glimpses of the physical style of his game, but will need to look forward to offseason training to work out some of his rough edges.
Talent Analysis
Sometimes referred to as the warrior type that competes for every inch of ice as a defenseman. While displaying some offensive ability in juniors, Campbell is not likely to ever be noted for producing points. Needs to work on his skating, positioning and on-ice awareness, but is extremely raw and can begin to surprise if he improves on his technique.
Future
Since Campbell is a raw project, time in minor league system where he can develop under the watchful eyes of Kings trainers is very important for his longterm development. Campbell is still a work in progress and will return to Manchester for at least another season before he can be viewed as knocking on the Los Angeles door.
