Testimonials:

gibbons was one of the worst players to wear a ducks sweater in recent memory

absolutely terrible

 

[inthewings]

He kind of fell flat this year, but I thought he was a nice signing by Anaheim at the time: good skater, good PKer, and has some hands around the net. I like this pickup. He’ll look good on the 4th line.

You made a player discussion thread before a trade thread!? What blasphemy is this?

 

[topshelf15]

= Warm body....

 

[Ouroboros]

Looks like he's got legs and knows how to use them.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

I am ready for the paajarvi - smith - gibbons line getting 22 minutes a night

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

We got rid of the extra year of Sieloff! That's a big win.

 

[Laphroaig]

Gibbons can help Belleville but he's no more than a place holder in Ottawa. Hopefully his stay will be brief.

I mean sieloff was still only 24.
Couldn’t get something a tad more useful than gibbons?
Not that it’s very significant. He’s got speed anyway.
It appears like PD is going for speed guys. Guess I can’t complain about that.

Wonder if they were talking about someone else, like silfverberg before they decided to rE-sign him.

 

[trentmccleary]

He seems like our new Ryan Shannon.

That 4th line of ours should thrive next year
We’ll have so many players on that line

 

[Icelevel]

He had a pretty good year last year.

Along with the other 11 4th liners!

Looking at stats you wonder what's going on with him. Two of the four years he had a 0.5ppg pace. Which isn't terrible.

But every comment from Anaheim fans make you wonder how he's playing professional hockey

 

[jbeck5]

I think this is a small but smart move.

Copying a text I sent to my friend:

"Will play in the NHL, allows us to keep young guys in ahl playoff run...also a ufa whereas sieloff had a year left so it's a plus in clearing sieloffs contract. Sieloff is useless.
Gibbons has produced 41-5-12-17 and 59-12-14-26 in the NHL before...so for 20 games on the bottom lines, might produce ok."

He's a body who won't look out of place on a bottom team which allows us to keep someone young down. Smart.

 

[BonkTastic]

We got rid of the extra year of Sieloff! That's a big win.

Yep.

Get a warm body to play out the stretch in Ottawa, and gets rid of a useless contract going into next year.

Totally fine with this.

 

[starling]

Wonder if he's waived in the next couple of days to get on the Belleville possible playoff roster.

 

[slamigo]

Is this another player asked for by Guy Boucher? 4th liner that will suddenly become our most important player?

Ducks fan wondering how the hell Gibbons has already surpassed his awful Ducks numbers in over 30 less games with you guys

 

[umma gumma]

Gibbons has been solid in his role IMO.

 

[Peptic Balcers]

No way the gibbler is here to stay

Sens fan here wondering how the hell he had such awful numbers with the Ducks.
