Thread: Ducks Fans - Willing to move Gibson
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bringer_Of_Snow</b></div><div>This is pretty much the premise of the whole idea. An elite goalies who prime years simply don't align with the teams competitive window. As a fan, you hate to move him, but maybe management considers it because of this.

I completely get it that you'd need lots in a trade, especially since Edmonton is a divisional rival. I would say Vancouver pretty much had a perfect rebuild. 2015 was their last 100+ pt season, they did a great job drafting and now in 2020 they are competitive. Thats where I base the minimum 5 years for a successful rebuild from. Anaheim had their last 100+ pt season in 2018, then followed it up with 80 and 67 pts. And Im not trying to be rude, but I haven't really heard much hype from any of their recent draft prospects. So give them until 2024-25 is likely BEST CASE for them to be competitive again. Gibsons already 33 at this point. Thats just my take though</div></div>
I know, Zegras is our only promising prospect that makes Anaheim’s prospect pool somewhat relevant. But Anaheim has potential sleeper prospects in Thrun and Groulx. This upcoming draft will really decide how long this rebuild is going to take. Vancouver or NYR are perfect examples of successful rebuilds. They were competitive in 2015 and hit a slump. Both teams had successful drafting and they’re looking like playoff contenders, soon to be cup contenders. Really great models to follow

Thread: Ducks Fans - Willing to move Gibson
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lenny7</b></div><div>Better idea-Take Drysdale at 6 if he's still there, if not, grab whichever forward has dropped to you, then at 26, take whichever of Barron or Grans is available (Preferably Grans). Then, with the $9+ mil in cap space, target a solid RD, and someone else in FA.

When we're talking about Broberg, sure, he might someday be a top 4 D, but the Ducks have Hampus and Fowler, and then any of Guhle, Djoos, Mahura or Larsson to fill in the roster.

Or, if you're hellbent on trading Gibby, anything less than a top 6 fwd, a 1st and a top prospect would be a huge loss for the Ducks. He's one of, if not the top goalies in the league, has a terrific contract with a whole lot of term on it.</div></div>
That could also work. Idk I’m upset that Anaheim hit their rebuilding stage when Gibson started to get on his game. Really bad timing. Just hope Gibson realizes that this team is going to be bad for another 3-5 years so I hope he’s able to put up with that or if he would want out. Hope he stays though
