Add your 2023 first and Anaheim would consider that.

Th Gibson acquisition essentially blocks Levi's development. Horrible idea.

And the overall team defense is terrible.

This is not an all-in scenario. At all.

No to Schmaltz we need space for Savoie and Kulich plus money to sign Power and Dahlin

John Gibson has said he wants to see the rebuild through

Gibson isn't even worth 1st. the package I gave up is more then fair.

I dont think we can expect a rookie goalie to play 50-60 games next you and be a playoff team. Having a veteran to take the pressure off will help him. Sabres have to make playoffs next year. The young guys need playoff experience.

They wont be ready until trade deadline at the earliest and if they are ready to step up we can trade krebs or Mitlestadt.

Gibson with 4 years left isn't that guy.

Signing a vet UFA for 2 years males substantially more sense. Pick a goalie: Raanta, Anderson, Reimer (who may go on a 1 year); Varlamov......

Gibson to Buffalo is the worst idea I have seen in a while. Waste of cap, waste of Levi, waste of time.

Then what's the reason for acquiring him? You're going to have him be your backup goalie for four more seasons at $6.4 million per?

The repeated inconsistency of trading for Gibson while saying he's only worth a package like that always amuses me. And, as @swinny so accurately points out, the fit (timeline) is poor, too.
