Gibson is being wasted

Created by: Andy_Dick
Team: 2022-23 Anaheim Ducks
Initial Creation Date: Oct. 16, 2022
Published: Oct. 16, 2022
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
He had no chance with all those odd man rushes last night, Anaheim is going nowhere this season and they have their heir apparent in Dostal coming!
A ton of cap space to take a bad deal.

Trade him to a contender already before his value is completely lost if NOT already but more importantly the goalie market is barren, it might not be in 1-2 years. You sell an asset in low supply. This is self explanatory

Trading Gibson certainly would have made a lot more sense than trading for Murray. I'm afraid you guys are stuck with him.

Lol, giving up a mint for someone on a bigger longer contract with worse numbers would have been significantly worse.
Gibson is washed

Not a Leafs fan but Dubas I think has a ton a terrible job managing the cap.
He reminds me of Bergevin shopping for bargain bin players that dont move the needle without taking any chances unlike Bergevin with the PK/Weber deal, sigining Radulov, drafting Mailloux.

Dubas plays NOT to lose so never wins! He's done if they dont make round 2 this year!!

Gibson has been atrocious for the past 4 seasons now, his value isn't even 1/4 of what the OP is offering.

The only terrible cap management dubas has done was have 4 major contracts come up when the cap was gonna skyrocket because of new American tv deals and suddenly a global pandemic triggered a flat cap.
You can criticise lots of things with dubas but his ability to manipulate the cap and roster arou d th3 flat cap has been excellent

He has potential to bounce back. I agree its probably too much if you actually read my notes, I stated that i doubted he had much value but getting out of the Murray contract wont be easy. Remember the "allegedly" deal of a 1st round pick going to the Sabres to take his deal before Murray blocked it "allegedly"

The goalie market says what about gibsons value? If you wanna go by what other goalies who are as bad and expensive as he is, then the market dictates he will cost assets from the ducks to move with retention.
Goalies who are near 30 and have been bad as consistently and as long as he has been bad never bounc back

Dubas is a terrible GM who makes terrible decisions. That Murray trade is the culmination of it all.

Bro, you think he should have traded for Gibson, who has been worse than murray for years and doesnt have injuries to blame. Might wanna step out of that glass house before throwing those rocks

He let the cat out of the bag that he will trade for players that he likes on a personal level with that deal. He's a man child that enjoys WWE wrestling and Soo players that said hi to him back in the day!

Gibson has been playing without purpose. You may want to understand context of a situation before blabbering a bunch of nonsense. Besides, you, along with all the other leafs fans on this board have been screaming that you guys don't even need average goaltending because you managed last year.

Good thought on the trade. But can't see the Leafs wanting/can't have a 6.4m goalie for the next season. IMO Murray is on LTIR or bought out. Plus the Leafs have a poor farm system. Getting rid of Knies and the two picks really hurts.

I tend to agree with you. But the Leafs have plenty of high priced executives. Where are these guys to collective decision making?

It's hard to know the dynamic of every organization. On one hand, you don't want a bunch of suits hampering a GM, but you'd also hope they'd intervene when necessary.

Playing without purpose! I love this cop out. Dude, he stinks. He was bad before the ducks started being bad and he's kept being bad.
The excuses people will make for a guy simply because he was really good a long time ago.
You may want to understand that making stuff up to make yourself feel better about a player isnt context and that blabbing it like it's gospel does not get you brownie points.
And what does leaf fans talking about average goaltending have to do with gibson? He's been a bottom 3 starter in the league for 4 years. That's context for ya

No, the funny thing is, and I've seen fans of every team do this with players. Use this excuse when it suits their argument and put it down when it doesn't suit their argument. Change of scenery is a real. Gibson has been playing on a team going nowhere for a long time. Obviously nobody can say anything for certain until it happens, but Gibson actually getting to play on a contender is exactly what will wake him back up.

But go ahead, spit in the face of logic.

I know! The best part is that you think it's some sort of gotcha even if it is true. So you've got an elite level guy getting over 6 mill a year and he just gives up on his team and mails it on for years. Totally hurting his team and the players careers because he cant be asses to do hus job.
Imagine thinking that guy has some sort of value in a pro sports world.or that if he decides to after all these years he can just magically turn it on.
Fairy dust and magic farts is what that logic is
