I won't yell but I will say that while I can understand the reasoning behind this trade from the Toronto end, they're going to need to give up an NHL player to make this happen. The Ducks look to have taken a major step forward in their rebuild and Gibson is still only 28 and signed to a very reasonable AAV for a workhorse starting goalie. If they think a guy like Luka Dostal is ready to make the leap(he's looked good in the AHL and in a small NHL cup of coffee this year), I could see them trying to upgrade their first line wingers with Nylander, plus scoring a draft pick or two and a good prospect in the Topi Niemala/Romion Adirov tier of TML's prospect list.
