Gibson at 4.5-5m would be great but I can only imagine what that would cost in terms of acquiring him on top of the regular ask.
The back up is most likely going to be Kallgren or Woll unless an opportunity for another cheap goaltender option presents itself but even then I think Dubas would give them a chance. He's going to rely heavily on ELCs to fill the bottom 6 (I think line 4 in particular) which probably will give them room to get a top 6 and a good line 3 player if they get a guy ~3.5m for starter (Murray after retention who's interested in going to EDM or TOR, Talbot, Blackwood if he becomes available).
