I personally wouldn’t do that trade if I was Edmonton, and assuming we sign Bouchard to a bridge, there wouldn’t be enough cap space to make this trade happen.

I’d love to hear how you think Comrie is worth a 2nd rounder

Gibson said he won't play another game for Anaheim. Cheap, young goaltending option

28 is young huh?

You should also pay more attention, Gibby’s agent came out and said that isn’t true so

A 2nd for Comrie is delusion

It's almost like his agent's job is to advocate for him. How many teams are gonna want to give him a fat contract if he's going to speak like that about the team he's currently on and was drafted by?

Delusion is thinking that it can't possibly be true, because why would people lie for PR purposes?

Anaheim has two goalies under contract in addition to John Gibson, and both of them are better than Comrie. We wouldn't be interested in him even for a fifth.

So we’re trusting a podcast rumor over the player’s official representation?

Honestly, yeah. He's quite good and he wants to compete. He's also 30 -- not getting any younger. I wouldn't blame him for not wanting to stick around for a rebuild at that age. It's just logical. By the time the Ducks are ready to be contenders who knows how old he'll be, the state of his health, decline, etc.

When there's smoke there's fire. I doubt that would just come out if there was zero truth to it. And the point of having representation is to make him look good. You don't think it's interesting that the agent's statement immediately referred to the fanbase and community? It's PR and it's working, because now you guys aren't mad at him

I honestly wouldn’t be mad at him at all. Fully understand a vet wanting to compete

But a podcast nobody’s heard of coming out with something to give them a headline seems a bit more convincing. Especially compared to Gibson leaking the comment to a random small podcast only to publicly refute right after while calling the out the podcast host by name for not speaking with Gibby to fact check

Poor Gibson is gonna be back facing 50 shots a night behind our terrible D in a couple months

I’m a Sabres fan, and would LOVE to get a 2nd for Comrie
But there’s just no way

Even if Gibson does want out, that doesn’t raise the value of Comrie- Sabres would be lucky to get a 5th for him

Also….
That’s too much for Sorokin

I’d definitely be interested in trading for him if he became available though

Tough to see how the trade with Florida makes sense for the Panthers as well
