Rumor: Anaheim willing to listen on offers for Gibson

Depends on the team but I think the Ducks target the most intriguing young player/prospect they can get from the teams interested and then build out from there
A goalie isn't necessarily a big need in return, other than maybe a cheap 2/3 guy to fill in the depth chart for the rest of this year. Stolarz is fine as a stop gap at worst and Dostal is a tremendous prospect who may be ready to go.

At what point do we start questioning Pagnotta like we do Eklund?
In the past few days he’s falsely claimed NYR is willing to move Lafreniere, and that Toronto (they’re in Canada, for the geographically challenged) is interested in Tyler Bertuzzi.

if he is out there then Kyle Dubas needs to go HARD after Gibson.
goaltending is the only thing holding this team back

Not sure Gibson fits with the leafs only because of his AAV and term. Would be hard to fit him in.

Well the issue is that you can be a very good insider and trades do not materialize or you can be an insider inventing his sources, this is not the same thing. Not saying Pagnotta is they guy I'd trust 100% but that is the case of any insider actually.

The Lafreniere rumor was almost immediately shut down by multiple other sources, and Bertuzzi to Toronto makes absolutely no sense, with his vaccination status and Canada’s restrictions.
So his track record recently is sounding very click-baity.
This is I think one of the main challenges of trading Gibson right now : all contending teams are quite close to the cap... (except NSH but Saros is killing it)
I am not saying the opposite (to be fair, to me Lebrun, Dreger, Friedman seem to be the ones with the real connections), I just mentioned that sometimes your sources can use your voice to spread rumors and then you look like a fool...

Not sure if this would work out because Flyers are rebuilding...but I could see a swap of Hart for Gibson making sense.
I could see it, but I see it more of an offseason trade & not one done at the absolute last second on trade deadline day. If done in the offseason he could probably be dealt to one of the conference finalists who just didn't have the goaltending to make it to The Cup. That's the kind of team who's window is 'right now' who'd probably be willing to mortgage the future & give up their really good prospects who are 2-3 years out from being ready. And with his no trade clause, it would probably take more than the next few hours to work out him waiving for 'x'.
Unless of course he pulled a Denis Lemieux & demanded "Trade me right farking now" in which case, who knows.
