silly season

Would probably put final nail in coffin for Yzerplan

Is it?

My wife asked me if I did the dishes. I yelled out “Yzerman!”

She smiled. She knew they were washed.

This looks like speculation (at best) but Gibson for Husso + B asset has been kicked around a fair bit on our boards in the past few weeks.

The timeline for Gibson makes sense as the veteran to bridge the gap to Cossa/Augustine.

On Soccer Reddit they have a tier system for insiders to gauge their reliability and insight. If we had something like that here Pagnotta would not rank highly. If Bob McKenzie wondered about DET and Gibson, I would take notice. If Friedman said it, I would raise an eyebrow. If Pagnotta says it, I sleep.

Does Bob McKenzie even "wonder" about potential trades anymore? He's essentially retired besides for draft polling and some Free Agent Frenzy work.

I assume Husso would be coming back, but no clue how Detroit’s cap situation is(other than that Walman trade earlier seemed really weird)

It’s still 2015 in my heart

I remember when Ducks fans thought it was outrageous to take on PIT's 1st last year + Jeff Carter.

How the turn tables turn.

 

[norrisnick]

Unless he's coming with Carlsson, not interested.

 

[Coach Reggie Dunlop]

.888 save percentage last year, with a worse contract than husso. If a trade like this goes through, us wings fans are cooked

Friedman did mention it in his '32 Thoughts' a few days ago...

Your initial post was yes

I wish my heart was 9 years younger

Wait a second.. let me catch my breath

I still think Gibson will turn it around with a better team in front of him, but I'm over hoping for anything of value for him. I honestly have loved him as a player and at this point would like to see him have some success somewhere.

Meh if he’s retained and you’re not really paying anything…. I think it could be a low key good change of scenery move/ stop gap until your young goalies are ready

Yzerman didn't say it super direct but in the pre-draft press conference he didn't seem pleased with Cossa's development (also evident in the drafting of Augustine) - basing this off the way he talked about Cossa and its adjacency to Yzerman using the word "disappointing" several times - probably more for his playoff performance than his regular season performance. It would make sense for him to pick up a goalie to bridge to at least Augustine. I think the original Yzerplan was to have Cossa up by now.

It would be so dumb to do this. Husso has zero upside. Gibson has shown he still has the ability to be an elite goalie at times over the past 3 years.

Would explain some of the other trades today. If Yzerman is not aware that you are in fact allowed to have more than one Gibson per team.

We have a goalie who is ready to take the 1A role and it's time to give Gibby a fresh start IMO. I still do believe he can be a great goalie but I think he needs a clean slate elsewhere

lol wut cossa played amazing this year. Finished the regular season with better stats than guys picked at similar picks around him.
