Third-round pick unhappy?

Now that the Kings have resolved Patrick O’Sullivan’s contract situation and Anze Kopitar’s contract situation, there’s…Andrew Campbell’s contract situation?

Campbell, who had signed an amateur-tryout agreement with Manchester, is back with his junior team in Sault Ste. Marie until, his agent said, he gets “a contract that compensates him fairly.”

The Kings took Campbell, a 20-year-old defenseman, with the 74th overall pick in the third round. He had 13 goals, 22 assists and 64 penalty minutes in 68 games last season with Sault Ste. Marie. In the interview with the Sault Star newspaper, his agent, Kyle Dubas, also said, “My job is to ensure he’s taken care of fairly. I’m still hoping we can come to a fair agreement, but some fundamental differences need to be bridged.”

According to the paper, Dubas is seeking a standard three-year, two-way entry level contract while the Kings have offered a one-year contract with Manchester.

I’ll have updates from the morning skate about all the day’s relevant topics a bit later…
