Thread: Pens after Guentzel come back Tatar add
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jeremy_Go_Pens</b></div><div>Maybe. But it's a different scenario at this point. Look at Dumba contract. Less than 4M. No one expected that in the beginning of FA. But, right now, most teams have much less cap space. If he want to get more money, he'll have to play for a non-contender. I don't think any contender will give him more than 2M or 2.5M at this point.</div></div>

I think we're on the same page here. Dumba is very suspect at this point. I didn't think his offer was a big surprise at all. It's a prove it deal. Tatar is a bit different. He's more proven. Yes, I think $2-2.5M for him sounds about right. If he was good with $1M NY or NJ could handle that now. I think NJ would take him back at that price. He may be waiting for teams to finish up and clear space which will happen here very soon. Several others are in that same boat.

Thread: Trading Gibson and Add Dumba
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jded</b></div><div>Goodness. Someone feels very passionate about this one

Have to agree with Giggy though. Ducks can’t add another undersized Dman so Bryson is a bad fit, and I don’t think Gibson can pull in a 1st right now. Do I think he’s worth it? Yes. But do his stats support it (especially considering his cap hit)? No, not at all. Ducks need to put an NHL defense in front of him so he can show what he’s capable of before he nets a decent return</div></div>

Good points
I agree with you. No one is gonna give up a 1st for Gibson with his 4 straight years of down numbers. He might very well still be a good goalie, but (to your point) no one is gonna pay up like he is until he shows it again- especially not with his contract

And that’s just ONE facet of why this trade wouldn’t happen
