Proposal: Ducks/Avs/Isles

[Zegs2sendhelp]

So the Avs give up a first and take on a higher cap hit for a player that has been one of the worst starters in the league the past five seasons and probably isn't any better than Georgiev?

Gross.

Okay shane lets not get carried away

Gibson sitting at a 915 Save percentage
Georgiev is at 874

Id say Colorado has a much better roster/defense than anaheim.

Colorado gives up 25.6 shots a game
Anaheim gives up league worse 34 per game

Gibson is a significant upgrade on Georgiev... no matter how much you hate him.

Now consider that Gibson hasn’t been over .910 since 2019 in spite of having a cap hit that almost doubles Georgiev’s.

Lets wait until more than 4 a game sample size, ya?

At least Georgiev is only 1 year removed from is .919 SV% season. The last time Gibson was anywhere near that was in 2018-19. Somehow Gibson had a worse SV% than George last year too.

Bad team vs good team argument, lost motivation, etc. End of the day Gibson's track record the past 5 years doesn't indicate he'd be a significant upgrade on Georgiev. He could be and there is an argument for it which is why a 1st/conditional 1st is being discussed, but it's by no means a guarantee.

Over the past five seasons combined Georgiev has a higher SV% than Gibson.

The fact you're making your argument based on four games is highly telling, though.

If you want to take the skaters out of it the stats don't get any better for Gibson, but I know you dismiss GSAx completely.

Seems like way too steep of a price to pay for the Avs. We aren't even getting Gibson at 50% retention either?

Easy pass. Make it 50% retention and take out the 3rd, then I'd consider it. Although even then I think a 1st outright is steep.

What would be more reasonable IMO would be like a 2026 2nd that becomes a 1st if Gibson plays x number of games over the next 2 years. Say 50 games total over the next two years.

For a fan base obsessed with drafting it's weird to see so many Avs fans wanting to willingly set a first round pick on fire and flush it down the toilet.

Colorado's first round pick is going to be at the very low end of the first round. Worst case its the middle of the first round. Not as much value to that pick as it seems.

Still far, far more than Gibson is worth.

I'd maybe give you a conditional 5th for 50% retention, but anything more is gross overpayment.

Do you honestly believe teams in the top ten of the draft will be looking to trade for Gibson? It’s cute that you thought you were making a point with that comment.

Also...

Gibson is a 6.4 million dollar goalie who hasn’t been at or above .910 since 2019...not as valuable as you seem to believe.

 

[Cypher]

Screw it, everything and the kitchen sink for Gibson. Avs just let in 5 in the 1st period.

Do you honestly believe a top ten first pick is equal value to a 25-32 pick? Because that was the point (Colorado's first will be low, and not worth as much as a top ten), obviously teams in the top ten of the draft won't be trading away their firsts for John Gibson. That's just stupid to consider, It's cute you thought that was the point though. We aren't talking about a team (Colorado) in the bottom 10 of the standings.

Ducks are in no rush to trade Gibson, he won't get anything of value we will just keep him as a back up, it's not like we need the capspace yet.

Edit: typos and spacing

Why even complain about where the pick is? Anyone considering this is most likely be picking late in each round. And it’s also not that all picks are worth the same if they’re not top 16.

Just clarifying duckpuck said the Colorado pick would be late in the first round, I just don't understand where bringing up the top ten of the draft came from. The only team that will be picking there of the three teams in this proposal is the ducks.
Just saying no one is imagining John Gibson will return a top ten pick.

So why complain about late 1sts when it should be a given that teams considering this will generally be picking late?
