That is going to be a no thank you on that Gibson trade

Anaheim isn't retaining for five years.

Gibson has not been very good for THREE years in a row. He's fine, but not worth a first from a team that hasn't proven a step forward. Also that's a lot to pay Puljujarvi without him being all xGF and not putting up all the points he should yet. I would really like to get him, but he shouldn't be tied for 4th in highest contracts for a forward (counting Bratt will be higher).

$10 million x 6 years to Zadorov and Mikheyev seems like the types of moves Fitzy avoids

Maybe $3-4m each on very short deals.

According to The Athletic, Gibson is worth significantly more than a first from you.

He's been .904, .903, .904 the last three years, and is a 32% WAR from JFresh over that time period. Why would there be much of a growth and why take that risk of hoping he does at an age where goalies could decline as the Devils actually hit their window.

Good. Nobody's making you trade for him. Maybe Blackwood will rebound.

My hope is more so to get Campbell to be a good vibes guy beyond being a good goalie to help Blackwood rebound. I do not believe he rebounds alone. Not even competition is what helps. He needs what Swayman and Ullmark have.
