<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>I roast every Gibson proposal because they're all almost as bad as yours, just as I roast every idiotic Toronto proposal to trade the moribund Jake Muzzin to Los Angeles -- usually for a more valuable player outright, without a clue about cap considerations.

Given the difference between Darcy Kuemper's rental status and Gibson's five-year term, I think that the return for Gibson should be somewhat higher than the first-round draft pick and good prospect that Joe Sakic paid for Kuemper. To me, that's your 2023 first, Matt Knies and Topi Niemela. Anything less and we have no incentive to move him. A lot of Toronto fans think that we're flogging Gibson 'round the League and the Maple Leafs are doing the Ducks a favor by taking Gibson off Anaheim's hands. The opposite is true: neither we nor Gibson (apparently, and explicitly) want to move him.

Welcome to CapFriendly, by the way. It's always good to see new people joining in.</div></div>

Yea I just think muzzin and Gibson are similar in the sense that they both had rough years and are locked into term. My trade proposal is not bad lol. Niemela is a top prospect and we can argue 1st vs second rounder but that’s where it ends. Knies should be off the table for Tor.

In regards to kuemper he was coming off seasons of a sv % in the late .920s. Plus his salary was 4.5 mil and Colorado was desperate because they lost grubauer and lost out on ulmark so their were no options left.

I’m not saying Gibson is bad but he could use a change of scenery. We’ve seen goalies like grubauer, fleury and nedelkovic all struggle when put on worst teams.

Tbh I think you got something against leaf fans. Every team has bad proposals, bad fans etc. Honestly I like the discourse and appreciate the welcome.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Congratulations. Among all of the clueless John Gibson trades, that's absolutely the worst I've ever seen. Don't Toronto fans understand the idiotic internal inconsistency in acquiring a goaltender because they think he's going to provide starting-netminder-quality goaltending for 4 or 5 seasons but paying this kind of ridiculously inadequate package that wouldn't be enough to acquire most third-line centers?</div></div>

My brother in Christ. He has a .904 save percentage for three straight years. Don’t bandwagon Anaheim + LA + NYI might as well just cheer for the whole league at that point understand the idiotic internal inconsistencies of getting value for a player that’s shown he’s taken a step back but has potential to play better when put in front of a better team?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Quillanrocks</b></div><div>1/2 the league would pick up the phone on Gourde if Seattle made him available, especially cup contenders. I won't get into the value of Gourde on the trade front, or how TOR might value the assets given up in the trade proposed, but Gourde is very valuable to the Kraken and would probably receive a few significant offers, especially closer to the deadline.

I see little interest in Kase and ZERO interest in Mrazek, so I think there's a better deal for the Kraken that I'm sure might (ALSO) be viewed as an overpay. I'm curious just how bothered Colorado and Tampa are by some of therir overpayments on player additions the oast few years??</div></div>

IMO Seattle should continue to rebuild and try and get Bedard. Gourde will surely get a package of a 1st a prospect and another pick. Mrazek is more of a cap dump for a team with cap space and dreidger out for the year. Appreciate the perspective as a kraken fan but from the outside I think it’d be a good move for them
