Would Ducks fans entertain offers on Gibson? As on Oilers fan, I am not 100% sure on their team situation, but I would imagine they are in the beginning of a rebuilding phase. Best case scenario, a rebuild take 3-6 years to begin to make runs at the playoffs, and 5+ years to be cup contenders.
Based on these relatively arbitrary assumptions, that runs through most of Gibsons contract and prime years. With the current demand for goalies, I would think Gibson would fetch an incredible return.
My trade is probably off in value but just taking a random stab at it.
- Koskinen to be the new goalie (only 2 years left and put up good numbers)
- Russell, Anaheim has cap room, Russells only due $1.5M in actual dollars.
- Broberg, our top d-prospect. I'd prefer not to move him, but open to it to solidify our starting goalie for the foreseeable future.
- 14th overall pick, great pick in a deep draft. Would be their 3rd 1st rounder in the 2020 draft. Good start to a rebuild
***if not enough, could add Puljujarvi. If too much, maybe change Broberg to a couple slightly lesser prospects.
I just want to hear Ducks fans current thoughts on their situation and maybe a probability of moving Gibson.
I don’t know how I feel about this. Talking about some assets I’m completely against moving but this is interesting enough has to be taken with some serious consideration.
Delete this.
Gibson is and will always been an untouchable
I mean fair, like if I was a Ducks fan, I would absolutely not want to move him. But from the perspective from management, you have a potentially Elite goalie, signed long-term, but not real chance of being cup contenders for another 5+ years, in which said goalie will be in his early 30s. From my perspective, thats a case of a goalies prime just not lining up with the teams current state. And I completely understand the idea of still icing a competitive goalie to give your team a chance night in and night out
