John Gibson Tells Ducks Management He Is Open to Being Traded
It would appear that the Ducks are interested in shopping goaltender John Gibson this offseason. The Ducks are likely headed towards a slight re-tooling under newly appointed GM Pat Verbeek, so it would be a wise move to shop their prized goalie. Especially given the number of teams who need one. That ought to propel a bidding war over Gibson, which could net Anaheim considerable assets.
As Alberga suggests, Gibson appears willing to consider a trade. His modified No-Trade Clause (10 team NTC) gives him a certain degree of control over his ultimate destination. However, reports indicate that Gibson might be worn out playing in Anaheim & interested in a fresh start with a new team.
Possible landing spots for Gibson include Edmonton, Colorado, New Jersey, Pittsburgh & Vegas. The Pittsburgh native hasn't posted great numbers in a few seasons, measured both in conventional statistics nor analytically.
Gibson's $6.4 million cap hit, therefore, may divert suitors' attentions elsewhere. However, if I'm a GM whose team needs a goalie--cough, Ken Holland; cough, Tom Fitzgerald--I'm finding a way to secure a top goaltender.
