Rumor: 2020-21 Trade Rumours and FA Part IX: The Version Where We Are Sad

[Bill Peckerskull]

It's still bad.

Oh, don't get me wrong, it is. Just saying that makes it look at least a tiny bit better

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Guessing Pekka is retiring. Hell of a career

Rinne retiring is my guess

BOOM! Indsiiiiiidderrr!

I will never hate Duncan Keith for what he did a few seasons ago scoring that last second goal. Last time I saw Keith Nuke was blowing by him for a goal. I think Keith got hurt on the play.

Of course that was Holland's response to a question about analytics. Good times in Edmonton.

Sign Landy, Stastny, and Barrie. I want to bring everyone except Duchene back. 2022 will be the culmination of all years past.

Rumor: Tyson Barrie to sign with Colorado Avalanche - NHL Rumors - NHLTradeRumors.Me

It won't happen but I'd take Barrie back on a decent deal.

Flip Girard for a center like Elias Lindholm. Timmins and picks prospects for Seth Jones. Sign Barrie and Oleksiak. Graves to Seattle. EJ bought out. Resign Grubauer, Makar, Landeskog.

Newhook - Mackinnon - Rantanen
Landeskog - Lindholm - Burakovsky
Nichushkin - Kadri - Donskoi
?? - Jost - O'Connor

Toews - Makar
Byram - Jones
Oleksiak - Barrie

Johnston mentioned Gibson as a name to keep an eye on in the trade market on Tim & Friends today...

Glad I'm not the only one who sees it. It just makes a lot of sense for both the Ducks and Gibson to part ways at this stage of his career.

Dude is turning 28 in a couple of days and is signed for 6 more seasons. Chances are he's going to be more of an anchor than an elite goalie if and when the Ducks are ready to contend for the cup.

Would be really smart to move him this summer, especially since they already have the guy who'll replace him.

Why does Anaheim do this though?

 

[Balthazar]

Why does Anaheim do this though?

Because he's 28 and not 23?

 

[The Kingslayer]

Because he's 28 and not 23?

Goalies prime is around 28. This aint Landeskog we talking bout.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Gibson is also incredibly injury prone and been very pedestrian the last few years. I’d love to add him but I’d be worried about Anaheim’s ask.

 

[Balthazar]

Goalies prime is around 28. This aint Landeskog we talking bout.

Ducks are ~3+ years away from contending. By the time they get there Dostal should be ready and Gibson will be in his 30's eating 6.4M of cap space and still signed for several years.

He's literally wasting his prime right now. He doesn't even have good numbers anymore and the team is going nowhere.

 

[hughdreamz]

To me goalies are just voodoo and don’t really have primes. Look at MAF. Roy had one of his best seasons the year before his retirement. Goalies make no sense. Targeting Gibson if we can’t re-sign Grubi makes sense. But Anaheim not trading him makes just as much sense too.

 

[forsbergavs32]

The ask is the part to worry about. You’re probably looking at selling the farm for him, so one of Newhook/Byram, 1st, Helleson/Timmins. Our prospect pool is ok but would probably be non-existent after a Gibson trade.

 

[AvsCOL]

We all love Gibson, but why give up pieces when you could just re-sign Grubauer… he’s only a year older, and was more than fine this season

 

[hughdreamz]

Agreed. Only interested in Gibson if Grubi is looking for more than $7M

Not gonna lie this shocked me lol

 

[hockeyfish]

Agreed. Only interested in Gibson if Grubi is looking for more than $7M

And if the price is nothing more than a 1st and a depth prospect. Otherwise I'd rather role the dice on a cheaper goalie and use the cap space on up front improvements.

I see no reason for Anaheim to get rid of their best player because he will be in his early 30s in 3 yrs unless its an overpayment. Talking about the type of deal thats going to piss off the fanbase. I want Gibson more than most but I just shutter to think what the ask would be from Anaheim. I want no part in trading Byram.

This. if its Newhook going the other way I wouldnt hate it as much as losing Byram.

Even loosing Newhook would suck. That is too much of a risk.

Would suck to lose Newhook but to get Gibson I would.

 

[Pokecheque]

Because Gibson is elite (at least when healthy) and Grubauer has now had two rather mediocre playoff showings the last three years.

I’m not advocating a Gibson trade here but if he’s available the Avs will at least consider it, and for good reason.

I just don't see it as that much of an upgrade.
