Mostly it comes down to Anaheims not in a position to move on from Gibson. The guy still steals games for us, the team loves him, and he wants to stay in Anaheim despite the troubles the team is having. Dostal isn't ready to take the starting role yet, so we either hang onto Gibson,or we have to go and buy a starter in FA, most/all of whom are older and have moderate to significant injury history.
Why don't you guys pick Lehner up from Vegas? Only two years left at 5 mil, should be good to go next season, and Vegas likely tries to unload his cap this summer.
