I can't see Anahiem trading Gibson at all, he's the present and future goalie of that team but yeah the Marchment and Chiarot additions are nice.

Gibson has not had over a 905% SVP over the last 3 years, but his value is still high, Trade him while you can. At this point he is replaceable. Also ANA will not be a contender for a few more years.

This is satire right?

tell me how?

Oilers accept

Mason Marchment - I’m absolutely for it! I would say I want this as our ‘big’ off season signing if we could only get one

John Gibson - can’t see him being traded

Ben Chiarot - offer sheet Nicolas Hague instead

I don’t see Anaheim getting the return we would want for Gibson so I can’t see a trade happening

I also think we will be solid and starting to compete in 2 seasons (23/24)

So the 1st is to take on that awful Ceci contract, and the 3rd is for Gibson?

And yeah, I absolutely get that Gibson hasn't put up the numbers over the past couple of years, but given that they don't have any cap issues, I don't know why you'd sell super low on him.

Verbeek isn't dumb enough to sign Chiarot to anything more than a 1x$1.5M deal.

I'd love Marchment.

Why would the Ducks take back Ceci? I'd prefer to play someone like Helleson.

Ceci has positive value, he's been very good this year. Edmonton isn't trading their defacto 1RD AND a 1st for a cap dump of a goalie.

No. Gibson is all reputation. Edmonton needs a goalie that can actually stop pucks and doesn't cost $6.4M for term.

S'all good, you can keep him.

Will do!

If Ducks want to keep Gibson, will they trade Dostal? What is he worth?

@oldnyifan

I think Dostal becomes the full time starter/taxi squad guy next year and Stolarz gets delt at the deadline — Dostal becomes full time backup for a year or two after then takes over for Gibson

That’s what I think happens

They won't, there's just no reason to. He's amazing in the AHL at just 21 years old.

He's blocked by Gibson for the next 5 years though.

The Ducks will move Dostal in for the 2023-2024 season. They won't trade him, but they might do as my friend @GeneralLandro says -- trade Stolarz at the trade deadline next year, or keep him through that season and let him go as a free agent.

It's a chicken-and-egg conundrum -- is Gibson bad because the team is bad, or is the team bad because Gibson is bad?

In the first half of the season, while the team was completely healthy, Gibson was 15-10-8 and was only one of nine starting goalies with a save rate over 92% and a GAA under 2.5, and the team was in a playoff spot. Since then, the team has stunk and Gibson's numbers have collapsed. But last night's game was typical -- Gibson made 29 saves on 32 shots, but some of those saves wouldn't have been made by at least half of the starting goalies in the NHL. And one game in the current string of ten consecutive losses the Ducks have suffered his save rate was 92.9%.

You can argue that his numbers aren't good, but numbers are just facts; facts aren't truth. I have no doubt that if Gibson played for Boston, say, his numbers would be better than their two goalies' numbers, and that Gibson will be our starting goaltender for at least the next three seasons.

This is probably the ultimate Gibson take there could/is out there right now — it’s all spot on

My friend, another great job

He's allowed 3 or more goals in every single one of his last 15 starts. His GSAx over that span is -22.76!! You can't blame the team for that - not when Stolarz posted a GSAx of +2.23 in 7 games in the same span.

Here are their stats from the past 2 months:

Stolarz: 2-1-1, 2.44 GAA, .922 sv%
Gibson: 2-12-1, 4.61 GAA, .860 sv%

Stolarz hasn't had an easier ride, either:

Stolarz: 2.83 xGA/60, 9.59 HDSA/60, 3.14 Rush Attempts Against/60
Gibson: 2.89 xGA/60, 9.22 HDSA/60, 1.81 Rush Attempts Against/60

The Ducks season is in the toilet because they insist on starting Gibson when he's clearly struggling. That's not in the defense, that's on Gibson and Eakins.

Not really. Gibson could be traded in the future but just not right now and the Ducks might go 50/50 in terms of starts in a few years. But Dostal is definitely not being dealt.
