Gibson is a better bet to play in the NHL. Wings liked him enough to sign him more than a year before the deadline, Nashville enough to give up the second-round pick transferred to SJ, plus Kiiskinen. Their history with defense prospects is good.. Gibson is big, can skate well enough, and recognized as an excellent defensive d-man. That's what he'll be at the WJC and in NHL Kiiskinen is interesting,, perhaps higher ceiling than Gibson, lower floor. It was a good trade for both teams and both prospects.

NOD STUFF: keep it closer to the topic. This isn't for wandering into topics already overly covered in other threads.

To be fair the Soo isnt a powerhouse team by any means, lots of lop sided games/high scoring games. He is going to be potentially the biggest trade chip at the OHL deadline if Raftis is smart and moves him for a haul. Dont be surpised if he has a nice uptick after the World Juniors.
