Gibson getting traded? “Some chatter the #FlyTogether have had escalated trade talks involving goalie John Gibson recently.“



What would you want in return for Gibby?

    Honestly not much. Someone taking the full contract would be nice. So I’m assuming the team acquiring him would want to offload a contract back but maybe for only a year or two

    #FlyTogether. Except that guy. #Flyeveryonebutthatguy

    If he goes, it’ll be a mutual decision. Gibson wants to sniff the playoffs and Dostal wants to be the number 1 tendy.

    He won’t get much, good goalies get a 1st, we’ll probably get a 2nd and have to retain a little.

    After the Ulmark trade I don’t think we get much in return

    Should have traded him 2 or more years ago when it was obvious the rebuild would take a long time

  7. We just saw from the sharks/wings trade that eating a $3.4 million contract for 2 years is worth a 2nd round pick. That means retaining 50% (3.2M) of Gibson’s salary for 3 years is worth about a 2nd. Add value on top because Philly actually wants the player. Future first if we retain any salary at all.

    Remember that 3 years retained means 3 years with 1 fewer retained slot of the possible 3. If a team is out of contention and.under the cap, each of those open slots for retaining salary is worth a 3rd or 4th each year at the deadline just to be third party eating 25% of a trade between other teams. Worth slightly more if you actually eat the bad contract for another team.

    So retaining even $0.01 on Gibson costs us the equivalent of at least 3 4th round picks. Make them pay up front for.those lost slots!

    Close link.

    Really tho, a husso + for gibby trade makes sense

    I heard a rumor from multiple sources Carlsson has been talked about amongst some teams.

    Could be in play for a massive deal.

    Not super fussed with the return but I’d want a veteran netminder in the system to split time with Dostal.

    Tbh I think if we can get out from his contract without having to retain salary or add additional assets we’re probably doing ok. After his past 5 seasons he’s a pure cap dump
