Well you don't give up assets for a goalie with a bad contract that's currently playing worse than the young cheap goalie that you're trading away.

What do you think we should do with the goaltending?

Cool story, start him 50 of the remaining games this season and see if those stats hold up.

We aren’t gonna trade the pieces it would take,
for an AVERAGE goalie,
with a BAD contract

It’s too risky considering how long it’s been since Gibson put up good numbers- literally YEARS…. It’s been over HALF A DECADE

@Captain_Okie
Please take a look at Gibson’s stats to see he hasn’t been “good” for over half a decade now

Now take a look at Gibson’s contract,
which is overpaid & way too long to take the risk of trading for him
Especially considering what it would take to get him


Trading for Gibson wouldn’t “fix” our goaltending,
it would make it worse

BAD IDEA
