Or he’s just on vaca. I was guilty of logging onto this horrible place once or twice while lounging on a beach in Waikiki
Did you make your way over to Maui? Wondering how West Maui is faring a year after the Lahaina fire.

Worst Case, Ontario
B) a team that is unlikely to have any playoff aspirations

Anaheim seems to fit the bill but as many have mentioned, they probably don't want to retain on Gibson.

Plus, they've been very selective with his starts and if I'm the Avs, I'd like to see Gibby against some stiffer competition before I pull the trigger :

They haven't really been selective with his starts, he was on IR to start the year due to an appendectomy, then started 6 of the Ducks next 9 games upon returning. Dostal played the most recent game, so they are 60/40 in favor of Gibson since he returned, despite Dostal having the best numbers in the league during his absence.

Ducks fans have debated on what that usage could mean. Do they still see Gibson as the starter? Do they think Dostal was starting to burn out a bit from taking on so much work in the first few weeks, so Gibson's return timed out nicely with giving Dostal a bit of a break? Or do the teams we assume they are discussing Gibson with, insist on seeing him take the starters share of starts for awhile? I'd lean towards the latter two options both perhaps having truth.

Who was the backup while Gibson was injured?
