Bouchard instead of Broberg.
No need for Rodrigue.
Holloway or Yamamoto.
2021 first, not 2022.
Whether he's overrated or not is irrelevant. All trades have to be looked at from the point of view of the opposite team, not just myopically from the acquiring team's PoV. Gibson fills a six-year hole at goaltender. Anaheim won't trade him simply to fill one hole somewhere else because that's not progress, it's transfer. So the Ducks aren't trading Gibson without filling at least TWO holes: namely, scoring and defense. And the solutions would have to be long-term.
