Description

I’m a Gibson fan and hope he stays in ANA but if he does get traded I hope is something like this realistically

Lyubushkin: cap space. Could be Greenway or Olofsson too from BUF. Basically a player who a team would prefer to move on from.

Rousek: a solid prospect with a shot at the NHL.

Conditional 3rd in 2 years that can become a 1st with Gibson getting back to his old ways and playing well enough his team makes a playoff run.

And hopefully no retention.

This is just an outline from BUF. If NJD the cap looks like it would be Vanecek. Prospect like a Salminen or Casey. And conditions would be for ECF and SCF appearance instead.

This would give some value to ANA with less risk to the acquiring team.

Gibson is not worth the risk of his salary alone.

Devils decline. If Gibson is going to NJ without a massive sweetener, Devils decline.

i dont think gibson fetches much. its known he wants out, but he is picky about where, that doesnt help. Maybe with a little retained salary the ducks could get a backup goalie and a mid round pick. Or a player like olofsson who is on his way out of that lineup and has a moderate cap hit. gibsons cap is what is making teams skeptical of pulling the trigger and lessening his value

Coming back because I didn't read the description, Salminen or Casey? Casey is a top 5 Devils prospect, Salminen isn't even top 15!
