Did you tell Winnipeg fans that they DON'T have the greatest team of all time???

Cuz that's frowned upon.

I hate that there is no obvious answer for the problem in Goal, but that is what it is for now.

If CMac wanted to, he could trade for Gibson right now. Gibson is available, Ducks want to trade him and it shouldn’t be very hard to give the Ducks something that would have them retain salary. I’m just not sure what CMac is waiting for.

He seems to be ok with throwing away points because of bad goaltending for now, or maybe he really believes in Georgiev/Annunen tandem. Who the hell knows

It's probably the retention and the term remaining that he doesn't like... also the small body of work as far as Gibson's season so far.

Don’t want to bury a fan base that’s invested but behind the 8 ball. At the moment WPG fans want the believe. But only in the end do they understand. There are levels to this. And they don’t seem to understand.

I believe Gibson only has 2 more years left on his contract, making 6.4 mill. If Ducks retain 3 mill, we’ll pay Gibson pretty much what we’re paying Georgiev right now. We have to find a goalie next offseason anyway when Georgiev’s contract is up, unless a tragedy happens and CMac resigns him. Get Gibson with that retantion and we’ll have the starter position locked up for couple of more years

This is the way

If it wasn't for us and Carolina, there wouldn't be a market for Gibson. At his age, he is nobody's goalie of the future, he's only the goalie of those that hope he doesn't suck worse than their current goalie. How much does this actually cost in a trade?

Consider this... Dostal is rocking a 5v5 sv% of .931 and a GAA of 2.35. Yes, Gibson has a better HDSV% but Dostal has him beat on MD and LDSV%. This is not the time to hand the starting duty back to Gibson. This is Dostal's team moving forward. How many teams want a 6.4M backup? Even with retention, a team taking Gibson probably helps the Ducks out a lot more than folks are giving them credit for.

At the end of the day it's a coin flip with this goalie market.

But we're desperate and need to flip.

LeBrun gave a Sid update on Overdrive earlier today. Said he's given no indication to anyone around him that he wants out and that's what it would take. Pretty much what any of us figured.
