Saw that a few hours ago. It's a pretty nothing comment. He was put on the spot to pick a player. There's been random speculation, but nothing reasonable or concrete to suggest Gibson will be moved.

Wasn’t he supposedly part of the ask for eichel according to 1 of Buffalo writers

with the goalie market… I wouldn’t even mind looking at potential gibson moves

Ducks should cash in before his value tanks. Back to back season of around .900 goaltending not sure how much further his reputation can carry him.

Same idea as Price but people still love him

Anaheim could move a bunch of guys if they wanted to. It also might be in their best interest. They're set up perfectly for a tear down. Oddly, they don't seem to want to do a teardown though, so you end up with an awkwardly structured roster. This is in contrast with a bunch of teams that NEED to do a rebuild but they can't because of their bad contracts.

Manson, Rakell, Silfverberg, and Lindhlolm are all on 1-3 year deals and in the prime of their careers and none of them are really overpaid. It is doubtful they want to stick around for a rebuild, but maybe management can convince them to re-sign?

Gibson and Fowler are also in their prime and signed long-term, but if the team trades a big chunk of the core they might want out too. Their only big "bad" contracts are arguably Henrique and Shattenkirk who aren't good contracts but aren't crippling either.

Their best bet might be waiting until the deadline and seeing where they stand. If they're good, they can try to re-sign guys and trade for young rentals they can re-sign with their cap space. If not, they can sell Manson, Lindholm and Rakell and go "full rebuild"

IDK, they ahve lots of options. I don't see a reason for them to sell, but if Manson, Lindholm and Rakell don't want to re-sign, they might HAVE to sell them to avoid major issues.

perhaps some connection as to the discussion of the Canes not qualifying Ned possibly.

Friedman reported that the Canes were wary of the arbitration award that Ned could receive. That is pretty much just common sense, arbitrations are not fun. Friedman then speculated that they may not QO him which is dumb.

I would think that Anaheim could want a young, potential #1G who was just a Calder finalist in a deal for Gibson. Half the teams in the league would be interested in Ned even in the worst case where he is awarded $3-4 million x 2 years.

God, the Oilers should go all in, and send all of our picks for few years + prized prospects for the lot of those guys starting with Gibson.

We'd be certain to win a cup. This is pretty much a comprehensive list of players we would need to be a contender.

Good post. This summer is definitely when GMBM has to pick a direction. The right decision is a rebuild but we'll know which direction they pick in the next 10 days.

I have no idea what the package would be, but the moment Pittsburgh made the management change I saw Bishop being traded for as a probability. I’ll not be surprised at all if Bishop is wearing black and gold this coming season.

Agree with lots of this except for stating it is doubtful those guys want to re-sign. Maybe one of them wants to chase a cup, but most guys seem really happy living in SoCal, getting paid, and being in a low pressure market.

If anyone seems unhappy, it’s Gibson, which would be the reason he is traded.

With all due respect, those players are fat and happy and their play over the last couple of years shows it. Rakell is at the front of the line in that regard. Manson is still solid but at 30 it may be time to cash in on his value rather than resign him for his declining years. Just my opinion.

If Anaheim isn't any good by mid-season, is it really in their best interests to be the highest bidder on a 30 year old player while in the midst of a rebuild? Honestly, if a guy is happy collecting a paycheque and not winning, what is Anaheim even doing then?

If the Ducks sign Eichel we're going to see a lot of ill-advised decisions trying to build a core on the fly and keeping players that are best probably not kept. If they don't get Eichel I can see the rebuild proceeding with guys like Rakell, Manson, and even Gibson traded. A lot is riding on the next 10 days.
