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

[Paulinbc]

Got news for ya. Every team had “almost” deals in place for lots of different players. Big whopping huge nothingburger to be ignored.

 

[Roboturner913]

I would bet Teravainen as the main piece going the other way in that trade, but that's just my guess.

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.

Sakic officially became the smartest person in the room by getting Toews for two 2nds.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Jarvis would be a start

 

[The Duck Knight]

Aho>>>>Gibson
Svech and Necas probably are each close in value but it wouldn't make sense for Carolina to move either one.
If true I'd have to think it was something like Jarvis + Gardiner + Fleury.

He needs to try and get someone that can get him to a 3rd or a 4th eh?

 

[terranraida]

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?

Again, I never said he was the only component. I never even said he was the main one. I said bob probably tries to get Aho, and gibson is involved.

Gibson, Zegras and their 1st?

Aho is a PPG game player that is 15th amongst forwards in terms of raw production the last three years. Why in the hell would Carolina move Aho for a goaltender? He's a franchise player.

Price must have been crazy. Gibson puts them over the top so as long as it was for futures why not?

plus that's really the only piece they're missing... a goalie

Ya kinda a dumb premise... you dont trade your star player to make tha type of move

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

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.

It was a bad idea and very unreasonable.

 

[dogbazinho]

Was Gibson trying to negotiate where his locker would be?

 

[Jerkbait]

This rumor was most likely as we knew Gibson was being shopped despite what the GM says. I can guarantee you pitt has approached them about Gibson and they talked....there may he more teams but it will be am east team

Yet here you are posting in the thread about it.

I would imagine Anaheim still has to add for Aho, but for the bolded that's almost the ask for franchise player Jack Eichel. Zegras, Gibson, 3OA, ++

We couldn't score vs Tampa. Canes still need more forward depth and a top 4 d-man if Dougie leaves which seems more likely every passing day.

Your thought has been noted, and filed away in the paper shredder.

Dawg nobody is scoring against Tampa as long as Vasi The Giant is in net.

 

[Anaheim4ever]

Suzuki + McLovin + Bean + ?
Or Suzuki + 1st + McLovin + ?

McLovin and Mr. Bean.
We'd be the most Meme team

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

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

It would be amazing because then we would know time travel existed since the almost deal between Carolina and Anaheim was at the trade deadline and the Ned stuff just happened today.

 

[GoldiFox]

I'd guess that the big piece on the table was Necas or Jarvis. I'm hoping they can still make some deal work because Carolina needs a goalie now more than ever which is saying something.

 

[Duck Off]

Necas + as a basis makes sense

 

[Eternal Leaf]

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

Nice.

Perfect. As long as it was noted so you won't forget it, I'm fine.
