Proposal: Anaheim-Edmonton

Gibson is 5th in GSAx since the last post:

Anaheim has a legitimate chance at making the playoffs with their tandem so he might not even be available anymore...

For the Ducks to make the playoffs they probably have to play .750+ hockey down the stretch and that still might not be enough. They are 5-4-1 in their last ten games.

At the start of the season Verbeek said he wanted the team to be playing “meaningful games” in March and they are poised to do that. Trading Gibson would be a big step back unless the return was just too good to pass up.

FWIW, money puck recently released a new model for tracking playoff and lottery odds. They currently show the Ducks with a 6.5% chance of making playoffs, and a 5% chance of landing the first overall pick.

Did they know Dostal was this good at that point?

Did they know Dostal was this good at that point?

Yes, I think they did since he had a pretty good season last year and a fantastic World Cup (or whatever they called it) this past summer. That said, I don't think they were comfortable that he could play 60 games and still hold up at this point. Between Dostal and Gibson, the Ducks are getting playoff goaltending every night.
