Team: 2023-24 Anaheim Ducks

Initial Creation Date: May 29, 2023

Published: Jun. 9, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Anaheim gets back 2 firsts in a stacked draft, a good defense prospect, and a goalie replacement with championship pedigree (its a cap dump, I'm trying to sell it as smart), and only spend a starter who doesn't fit their timeline, and a couple picks, none of which go in the 1st round.

Pens try to keep their cup window open by acquiring a starter who's done it in the past when his team isn't intentionally bad, and keep a bit of draft capital. Gibson is also in his prime so notable regression is unlikely. Ty Smith isn't looking like a roster lock, especially if they keep him left side, and the pick, though a 14th OA in a highly touted draft, isn't likely going to immediately help out, which is a problem when you're trying to keep the team good for a couple guys in their mid 30s.

Toronto dumps a contract, and keeps a little draft capital. This really only makes sense if Gibson is also delt at deadline.

Interesting idea but I don't know if the penguins want to take the gamble that he suddenly returns to his old form. He has been very bad for four straight years now. If he continues to be that bad it completely closes the penguins chance at winning a cup again with Sid & Geno

I think the idea of Gibson to Pittsburgh exists solely because he's from here. I don't trust him to be The Guy on a contender anymore.
In 3 of the last 4 seasons, Gibson's SV% and GSAx/60 were worse than his backups', and those backups were never all that great. Over that entire span, he boasts a SV% of .902 and -21.41 GSAx (via evolving-hockey). I can definitely see him being better on a better team than Anaheim has been, but anything close to prime Gibby would surprise me.

Anaheim isn't retaining on Gibson nor do they want Ty Smith in the trade. Try again.

WDYM? They fall an entire round out (meaning that they payed more to dump Murray than Mrazek despite the cheap buyout) and only get an additional 6th? Heck no, if it's going to be Boston's 1st for Boston's 2nd, another 2023 3rd has to be involved at least.

I guess, I’ve just seen a lot of people putting Murray + 1st for a third or less so this is the best I’ve seen in a while from a non leafs fan.

Easy no, if pens are going to get a goalie and bet on his past, it might as well be Jack Cambell and he won't cost us a premium

TBF, most non-leafs fans undervalue Leafs players... just like how Leafs fans overvalue their players

That’s fair enough. I try my best to be subjective but I do have a bias being a leafs fan

We all do, as much as we don't want to admit it... Sometimes, we all go the other way as well. I try my best but won't ever be perfect on assessing a player's value

Or you could bet on a familiar face with far less term. We all know your POHO loves him.

Even Kyle knows the Matt Murray experience failed in Toronto and doubt Sully would want an Injury prone goaltender with what he has dealt with the last 2 seasons
