Some chatter the #FlyTogether  have had escalated trade talks involving goalie John Gibson recently. Wonder if a team like Detroit pushes on this.

  1. I was thinking the acquisition of the second rounder earlier today would be related to something like this. But then we just gave it away for free with a top 4 d-man so I guess not.

    If it’s cheap with retention and Husso goes the other way, then I’m cool with it.

    The value should reflect the level of play Gibson has shown the past five seasons. Not the level of play people think he might have shown if he was on a better team.

    Meh. Not the kinda move I’d be hoping to see. Gibson is already 30 and makes more money than he’s worth at this point.

  4. HercHuntsdirty

    They’d have to send Zegras this way to sweeten the deal with that AAV.

    His save percentage was .888 last year. He has a worse contract than husso. No clue why we would ever go after him.

    Y’all Gibson put up impressive numbers before the Ducks dropped to the bottom of the league and now he’s in his prime. Does he put up those numbers on a better team? I don’t know and either do you. Have some faith. Jesus.

    I’d actually be pretty okay with it, getting an established vet to lighten Lyon’s workload and bridge to Cossa/Augustine is not a terrible idea by any means, and the remaining term isn’t bad.

    Clearly room for only one Gibson in the Winged Wheel

  9. magikarp-sushi

    Damn they weren’t just bullshit then. We getting zegras too?

    A 31 year old goalie that hasn’t had a good season in 6 years? No thanks. He’s gunna be another Husso.

    Do we really want this stat line?
    GP: 46, W: 13, SO: 0, GAA: 3.54, SV% .888

    Hardly seems worth acquiring, and nowhere near his current contract price.

    Hmmmmm not sure this makes sense. Sounds like Anaheim trying to drum up interest.

    Not adding much to the convo, but when I read that we traded Andrew Gibson for early today, I thought we acquired this Gibson and flipped him immediately. I was confused as hell for about 30 seconds.

    Would Chris Driedger be a good pick up on FA?
