Value of: John Gibson

[SherVaughn30]

What would his trade value be right now if the Ducks were willing to trade him? Asking as a Caps fan. Samsonov/Vanecek are not anywhere near #1 goalies and the Caps are gonna need one soon with all the injuries piling up.

From my standpoint, I would be willing to trade Samsonov($2 million and will still be a RFA after the season) + 1st + a player with contract(like a healthy Mantha($5.7 million for another 3 years).

If Gibson is ever available, the Oilers should be all over him. They’d be downright scary with a legit goalie

An ok goalie, a late 1st round pick, and a winger with a bad contract? I don’t see how that’s a good trade for a rebuilding Ducks team.

Ducks are doing just fine right now with Gibson there to make it happen. I'd say NO is the best way to answer your proposal.

I just can’t imagine if the ducks traded him they would do so in the division

Having seen a few Gibson threads before, start with prime Ovechkin and add from there.

Closer to the deadline I’d like to see the Sabres trade their Vegas 1st + for Gibson.

No thanks

Ducks fans want an unrealistic amount for Gibson in my opinion. Most discussions seem to include 3 or 4 marquee pieces for the future.

My favorite part about Gibson threads is the Oiler fans trying to convince Ducks fans that they ask for too much.

This thread didn’t disappoint.

As an oilers fan even made a proposal in this thread?

I'm sure you would. On the flip side, closer to the deadline I'd like to see the Ducks trade their 22 3rd + for either Power or Quinn... maybe even both. Chances of either of those happening though are roughly equivalent of my favorite actress showing up at my front door, naked, holding a pizza & saying "I'm hungry & horny, let's do this..."

However, short of him flat out demanding a trade, I can't see the Ducks wanting to trade him for anything but a big overpayment. Especially now that they're doing far better than expected this season & the light at the end of the tunnel no longer is an onrushing train.

Sure

Vegas 1st + krebs/Quinn prob gets the conversation moving

Literally the post above mine.

That’s fine, I don’t think any duck fans really want to move him anyway…. It’s mostly other teams hoping they can get him cheaper

Seems fair.

Don’t see anything about a proposal.

 

[Romang67]

The Varlamov and Schneider trades are probably good points of reference. Gibson is older, but significantly more proven (and, IMO, much better), so you're probably looking at a 1st rounder plus significant value. Wouldn't be surprised to see him command the equivalent of two first rounders for a team in need of a quality goalie.

As a Ducks fan, I have to say that the goalie market up to date does not offer much optimism IF we trade Gibby. And that will only happen if we see our team will suck for the upcoming years as well, as we know, then Gibby will want out.

In our favor would be the nice contract of his, but the return in any case would most likely be disappointing to us. Goalies are so weird
But I don't see Gibby going anywhere this season. MAYBE in the summer but big question mark, IMO. After that, who knows.

No, it’s not a proposal it’s a post just talking about how Ducks fans overvalue Gibson and bullshit about 3-4 premium assets when Ducks fans generally want a good prospect and 1st.

The ducks have a top goalie on a pretty good contract, plenty of cap room, and a team that seems to have turned the corner after bottoming out last year. Why would they want to trade gibson and open up a hole in net ? Dostal seems promising but is not ready and unproven. The only reason to trade Gibson is for a massive haul or if he's asked to be moved.

You’re clearly in the wrong thread. Logic doesn’t work here bud.

It’s been stated (and ignored) ad Nausea at this point. Look at the history of #1 goalies in their prime being traded, and then add slightly because the Ducks have no real reason to trade Gibson. It’s not that hard folks, but ya they’ll accept cap dumps + your late first .

 

[Trojans86]

The fundamental issue with these threads is that the Ducks really believe he is a top goalie in the league and his stats were down because we sucked and he got really frustrated (and why we are not surprised that he is playing better now that we are healthier and playing better as a team). Under that premise we aren’t going to trade him for a late pick or mediocre prospect that has no chance of ever becoming as good or as valuable as Gibson. If you don’t think Gibson is elite than don’t offer. There are plenty of other Ducks that we don’t think so highly of.

Which is the part that so many are (deliberately) overlooking; this is a "make me move" situation. Ducks have no reason to trade Gibson for anything less than his full possible value and then some. The spare parts bullshit has to get tiring. If "he's not worth that much" it's no skin off the Ducks' behind. Yet the same people come into every thread to complain about it.

Correct. Gibson has publicly made statements about being sick and tired of losing(paraphrasing here). You can take that however you’d like. As a Ducks’ fan, I take that as a goalie in his prime challenging his team and organization to figure it the f*** out, and rightfully so because that’s how I’d want my goalie to feel. IF people argued he wants out based on comments then I’d at least understand. However, people don’t state that when making proposals and just think they can get Gibby for peanuts on the dollar. Even if he did want out, his value would likely be higher than what’s being proposed a majority of times based on historical precedent.
