Shouldve moved Wiz for a winger

 

[SoCalHockey]

Poor Wiz... waves his NTC to come to Anaheim, praises the place, and then gets stuck in a situation where a rookie preformed better then anticipated making him once again expendable.

Well, GL in Carolina I suppose.

 

[Ducks in a row]

So this is making it look like one of our young goalies is going to be traded soon

Apparently Gibson to the AHL.


At least moving Wiz opened up a ton of money, which has to mean Beauch is coming back.

So he is still eligible for the AHL without losing him to waivers that sounds good.

I wouldn't assume that.

Keeping Khubodin allows the Ducks to keep Gibson in the AHL. Not only will it help to continue his development, but it will also help in negotiations after this season when Gibson is a RFA.

But I am very much with others that say they should have traded Wiz for a winger. This was an old school Murray move that smells of terrible asset management....

I'm all for Beauch coming back but I don't think it's guaranteed.

 

[snowave]

Feel bad for Wiz. Don't think he got a fair chance. I also don't get the goalie thing unless we are shipping out somebody. I'm sure this will all make more sense when we see what else happens.

 

[The Duck Knight]

Yeah it may be, but I'm not sure it's going to be Beauch. Gotta think BM is bringing in a top 4 d to play with Hampus. Beauch/Sekera/Martin/etc.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

i dont get this at all, 3 goalies and none of them established this just blocks gibson

 

[Static]

I just have a bit of an issue moving Wiz for a sideways move in goal. How much will that help us next year? I understand it might help us in the future, but man it would have been nice to help out the forward corps.

Obviously we aren't done yet, so nothing can be truly graded.

 

[mighty Stanley Duck]

Why would we sent Gibson to the AHL.
He needs some NHL games from time to time, 20 games for him would be best scenario.
This is 3rd season in a row we are going up and down with John.
We have legit goalie, in worst case scenario, 2nd best G prospect, and we are sending him in AHL for full season.

 

[andyolly]

Definitely not happy about this. I would've loved to keep Wiz and play him with decent minutes.

 

[giant870]

This trade looks like more of a money dump than a trade that improves the team.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

This trade looks like more of a money dump than a trade that improves the team.

Which is fine if we're going to use that money to fill some holes.

 

[2faded]

Wow based on what we traded for Wiz plus the fact he never really had a chance I'm surprised at this. Especially for a backup goalie. I hope Murray is up to something.

 

[Ducks Nation*]

So we traded away one of our best prospects and our best center prospect easily (even over Rakell) for a backup goalie.

add a 2nd rounder as well.

amazing.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

so we burned two assets for only a few games of wiz, and now we have khudobin to show
very poor asset management by murray here

I don't think it makes much sense to keep Gibson backing up Freddy when he can get more experience and develop more while playing in the AHL. He's wouldn't be playing enough this next year backing up Freddy.
I think Gibson is going to be a superstar goalie, but I think he still needs a little more time before he gets there. I see this as a good thing keeping him in the AHL for the year.
Who knows. Maybe Gibson has a great training camp and Freddy falters, but I don't see Gibson beating Freddy out just yet.

Especially when Khudobin should be gone after this coming season.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

I think khudobin is the one who's meant to stay, with either Gibson or Freddie being moved when the time comes.

 

[Vipers31]

Don't be ridiculous - he wasn't easily a better center prospect than Rakell. I can see the argument being made, and I think I made it myself a few times, but even that is an uphill battle with what both have done in NA. It's not easily.

Bottom line stays: it ended up being bad asset management for sure. But Khudobin isn't worthless, either. I think many are underrating him. He'll be interesting to see on a good team again. This season was a bit of a setback, but the year before, I felt he showed starting potential. Not that that's necessarily what we need out of him, but he isn't a zero-value asset in this equation.

BB didn't like Wiz, that is obvious now. They probably had talks after the season up till now. Cut your loses now and move on.

Yea this is what I think. I think BM likes Wiz and BB doesn't. He can't force BB to play him.
