Quoting: OldNYIfan
Who's the good player we're getting in return for Gibson?
It's not a package as bad as it's made to be here, particularly depending on that first...
In order of value :
1) 2023 1st round pick (OTT) (pretty good asset, particularly if they don't make the playoffs)
2) Boucher, Tyler (10th OA in 2021 but I KNOW, it's not his actual value)
3) Brännström, Erik (talented 22 y/o OFD, needs to get the hell out of Ottawa as they don't have anyone good to play him with. Zub can't play on 3 pairings
4) Meriläinen, Leevi (young goalie with very good potential, goalies need to be well cooked)
5) Roger, Ben (49th OA in 2021 but I KNOW, it's not his actual value)
This package is worth at least 2 firsts and 2 seconds.
Note that the contract below won't be traded until they know what's going on :
Murray, Matt : either he becomes healthy and is good or is LTIRed and isn't cleared to play in the NHL anymore
Having said that, what would be the motivation for Anaheim to do that? Gibson is GOOD and NOT injury prone. That's gold and you always try to keep quality over quantity unless cap issues, rebuild, dispute, etc
