Goalie trade value is a tough thing to figure out. Gibson is one of the best in the league (the best IMO) and signed through his prime. He is easily worth all of that package to TOR, and the Ducks are in a weird situation where the only thing keeping them from a clear bottom 3 tank job is Gibson... so I think it's interesting. But I also don't think the Ducks will trade their franchise goalie until they've seen Dostal in the show. Small gripe but retaining (even 800k) for 6 yrs is not something that the Ducks would do, they are pretty tight with their money. In terms of value, I think the Ducks deserve a proven piece as part of the deal, just so they don't risk ending up with nothing. So I'd think they ask for Nylander as the big piece and see what happens.
