Coming from an oilers fan, Not even close for Gibson. The chance of him being moved is getting smaller than it was at the start of the season. I used to think it made sense for them to move him, as his prime years didn’t align with Anaheim’s timeline of competing. But with the emergence of Terry, Zegras, Drysdale etc I think their window is closer than I thought initially. With a few good offseasons and signings, they could be a playoff team shortly.
If the oilers were to put together a package, it would be something along the lines of:
1st, 2nd, Skinner, Broberg + some cap to even up the money.
That’s a very steep price to pay, but the aside from Skinner, the oilers don’t have a goalie in the system who’ll be nhl ready in the next 2 years. There aren’t any UFAs that a long term fixes, and the trade market as of right now is at best a lateral move from what they have now.
If there’s a chance a Gibson or Hart are available, the oilers should move nearly anything to get it done, but I don’t like Holland’s creativity to actually swing a big deal so it’s a moot point
