Speculation: 2021 Offseason Roster Discussion

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Big difference between Gibson and Getzlaf is that Getz won the cup very early in his career and has won gold with team Canada. Gibson hasn't won the cup and hasn't won gold since U20s. It is easier for Getzlaf to have that team mentality when he has had all kinds of success through his career while Gibson hasn't and he's worried that he will waste most of his career in a team uncapable of winning. Gibson's attitude would probably be different if he won the cup in 2017 for example.

I get Gibson's frustration, I think we have seen it in his on ice performances when he just seems frustrated and gives up. I would too be annoyed if I felt like the rest of the team wasn't trying and I had to face 40+ shots every night because of it. I would want to give up too and call people out. I hope that someone explains to him how rebuilds work and that the team is close to turning it around (I think the bottom has been reached).

If he wants to go somewhere else, that's fine. I have always felt that he's not going to spend his whole career in Anaheim. I do wish that he stays for a year though because Dostal isn't ready yet and I think that the next season will be better so maybe Gibson changes his mind.

If we’re “rebuilding” I don’t mind moving him for assets to help the future and getting a filler goalie until dostal is ready.

I think I’d be more upset if he was “okay” with the situation. Get pissed off and call out the team, that’s what Bob Murray should be doing but most he’s done is fire some assistants. Hold players accountable.

I do think he probably should be traded for everyone involved. We gain rebuilding assets like draft picks or younger players and Gibson’s prime isn’t wasted.

 

[GermanRocket7]

If I were BM, I'd probably work the phones right now. Calling out every single team mate of yours, no matter if justified or not, publicly, is unacceptable and should be rewarded with a trade. I heard Buffalo wanted Gibson, so maybe he should go there?

Eichel + Anderson
for
Gibson + Shattenkirk

Buffalo gets their #1 goalie and a veteran presence to their blue line in order to teach the young players such as Power, Dahlin etc. - and we get an old-ass replacement for our goalie who is just the stop gap for Dostal for a season already lost and a player who is 50/50 either a superstar when healthy again or a cash grave. Both teams take on lots of money (10.3M vs. 10.7M) and risk, but solve their problematic situations for now. I'd say that's a fair-value deal that makes Buffalo better and Anaheim worse for this season, but potentially helps out both teams in the long run. Always considering Gibson might not re-sign in Buffalo at all, of course, but he might as well be traded somewhere else anyway.

How long should he be patient playing behind a team that has hung him out to dry for the last 3+ years. I'm glad he isn't accepting losing

He would have every right to do so, if he would play the way every game. Being mediocre more often than not is not the foundation to do so.

 

[Deuce22]

I would have more sympathy for Gibson's frustration if I hadn't seen inconsistent goaltending, blame directed at teammates, and instances of quitting in the net over the past two years. It's going to be difficult to change the direction and culture of this organization if your franchise goalie isn't on board with what needs to be done.

Gibson already had some of the worst body language I've ever seen from a ducks goalie.

 

[Goose of Reason]

Gibson hasn't played like he wants to win for a couple of seasons now so whatever. I'm confident in Dostal as our goalie of the future.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Trade Manson and gibson

resign lindholm and Rakell

end up with 3 1sts next year + some more depth in prospect pool…. Eventually package some of that depth for a top 6 winger

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Are people just reading snippets of the article and then making their own conclusions as to what the Gibby article is about? Kinda like reading the headline only and making your opinions on that headline.

I'm okay with trading away Gibby for his inconsistent play, but this article just shares how Gibby wants to win again and that everyone needs to be better, including himself. I think a lot of people got wrapped up in Stephens' teaser, which presented a negative headline. I was expecting more of that negativity in the article, but it wasn't that if you had read the whole thing.

I wouldn't limit that to just Ducks goalies...

I still remember hampus predraft interiew the entire interview he talked about body language and mindset even when losing. I thought that interview was so interesting because no matter what they asked he kept mentioning it.

Same…. Hopefully he gets the C this year and resigned

Hampus is by far the most important player we have. C material Imho.

Ever since Kesler and bieksa pretty much called Gibson out indirectly in game 6 v predators ( the game we gave up 6 total shots through 2 periods and bernier allowed 4 goals . “ some guys just don’t seem to care enough to play not at 100%” was the quote I remember . I always knew he would be a problem

Is it a cappuccino maker? That would be progress.

Fleury didn't start with the Ducks at the NHL level and yet he's a notable subtraction. That means Fleury had to be a notable addition. I can use that standard.

• C/LW Zegras and RHD Drysdale didn't start the season in the NHL. Zegras was called up at wing, sent back down to prep being a center, and then called up again as a center later in the season. At the center position, Zegras only played 7 games to close out the season. He and Drysdale only got in 24 NHL games, which still qualifies them for the Calder this coming season. (25 NHL games is when rookie becomes eligible for the Calder.)
• Another player that didn't start with the Ducks, but he was acquired via trade during the season was F Volkov.
• G Stolarz signed a two-year extension as an UFA. The UFA status is important because it means Stolarz could have gone anywhere else, unlike RFA status players.

The original Notable additions are all AHL'ers. They're simply additions than notable additions. De Leo and Welinski are AHL'ers, both aren't notable subtractions with respect to the NHL level.

Updated notable additions: Trevor Zegras, Jamie Drysdale, Alexander Volkov, Anthony Stolarz ... Pateryn, Robinson, O'Regan, Rafferty


.

Welp, that has been my version going into this season all off-season. Zegras was more productive to close out the season as a centerman, both at the AHL and NHL levels.

2020-21 AHL (Regular Season games), Zegras

Zegras
AHL	Games	G	A	Pts	PPG rate
Total	17	10	11	21	1.24
Wing	8	4	5	9	1.13
Center	9	6	6	12	1.33

[TBODY] [/TBODY]

2020-21 NHL, Zegras

Zegras
NHL	Games	G	A	Pts	PPG rate
Total	24	3	10	13	0.54
Wing	17	1	6	7	0.41
Center	7	2	4	6	0.86

[TBODY] [/TBODY]

And with how Zegras has been so far this off-season at the rookie tourney in Arizona and in training camp, the Ducks may have found a leader and potential captain along with continued developing elite skills.
