Rumor: Carolina had a deal in place for Gibson at the deadline, but backed out

[Big Daddy Cane]

~13:57 --> Eddie Olczyk on the Seattle expansion draft, the playoff setup & what the Leafs priority is this offseason

Really interesting note from Olczyk. If Anaheim is serious about potentially dealing him, there are implications for the Eichel sweepstakes. If Carolina was in the market for big game in net, it could explain the Nedeljkovic trade and what the Canes could be looking to do in the aftermath of it.

Wow

Wonder why they backed out.

There’s always Fleury/Lehner from Vegas this offseason.

Crazy that they almost landed Gibson.

 

[terranraida]

thank you eddie o very cool. just as quality work as in NHL19.

 

[SlavinAway]

What would the package for Gibson look like?

Maybe Aho and then the fun game of who adds what? I don't see bob doing that. They don't seem like good trade partners, especially if they were serious about Eichel, like suggested, they could just add him to the trade pile up there.

This is Eddie O reaching for something to fill the dead air.

 

[SlavinAway]

Maybe Aho

LOL

 

[terranraida]

LOL

Look man, I didn't say this was a serious offer. I said that they don't seem like good trade partners.

 

[Trxjw]

Wow

Wonder why they backed out.

If today's events are any indication then apparently it's because they're required to pay him money.

I remember posting about how they had the pieces to do it at the deadline. I believe I was called out for my suggestion of Jake Bean plus a large package of futures.

no clue. The teams don’t seem like good trading partners.

 

[SFKingshomer]

They backed out because Anaheim wouldn't eat all of Gibsons salary.

I like Bean but lhd is not what the primary piece should be for us. We need scorers who are young and ideally a center (note the Eichel interest)

Carolina is the Avalanche East.

Amazing roster that needs their GM to blow his load to get them over the top and instead they just keep skirting around the edges and thinking they are the smartest man in the room.

Aho for Gibson? Looks like I found Don Waddell’s hfboards account.

Carolina with Gibson probably win a cup.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

I've wanted to see this for a couple years now.

Just feels like one of those things that would pan out.

Look at Carolina's farm system. They're stocked with valuable trade chips at forward. If anything, that trade return would help mitigate the pieces you'd lose in a potential Eichel deal.

again, just an idea. this isn't a trade offer. It's "what would a gibson trade look like" and it's not even an unreasonable one. I never said it was a 1 for 1 swap.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Necas +

I could get behind that

Aho for Gibson is absolutely an unreasonable one, what the hell are you talking about? lol.

When has a goaltender ever been moved for a first line center?

 

[BonMorrison]

It would be really funny if the deal went sour after Carolina made the Ned trade.
