Its a wacky scenario but if Gibson were ever to be traded I do believe it would be for a guy like Kesler and a 1st round (in this case the 6th) would definitely have to be included, so the 6th overall for the 10th makes more sense.

We have seen goalies not garner the desired return.

Pretty much sums up my expectations now:

@VanCanucks fans dreaming of actual, exciting change gonna get a crummy Kes trade return, Jake Virtanen and Ryan Miller for big $ #killmenow

Over/under on season ticket refunds if this happens? I'll say 3000

I felt pretty optimistic for a whole day.

The going rate for a great young goalie, that's ready to take over as a number one is the ninth overall and nothing more.

Gibson has looked good but has proved nothing so far. Lots of goalies that looked great at the start and fell into the "where are they now" category. Still a risk move for Van and Anaheim gets a commodity they absolutely need to compete with LAK.

I was saying Gibson because Im pretty sure he has more upside than Markstrom and Kesler is definitely not staying, so I was just seeing what might benefit both teams. Kesler being the Center Ducks need and Vancouver starting a re-build or re-tool with the back end first like LA did with Bernier.

As far as a commodity goes for Anaheim Im not worried because theyre goaltending is not unbeatable and the D isnt that strong and LA has the Centers to match Kesler

I wish that was the case with LA and Bernier
Frattin and a 2nd? God I hated that deal

Markstrom was the best goalie prospect in the league not that long ago.

He can play third line with UFA Paul S

So you would take Markstrom over Gibson?

Personally I wouldnt but I can understand if you would.
But IF im starting a rebuild and have a Bo Horvat and/or Shinkurak coming up very soon if not this year, I would take Gibson and run with it. Start building a young skilled team.

If you think its not enough how about
Gibson, Vatenan/Etem, 10th
for
Kesler and 6th

Just sayin', goalie values can change pretty quick. I think Markstrom might do better under Rollie Melanson coaching him though. This will be a pivotal year for him. Gibson may turn out great, looks like Anaheim thinks so. We will see.

Not giving up the 6th unless to move up in the draft.

Understandable.

What does Vancouver want in return for Kesler? Is it the same type of return that LA gave up for Richards? I know Richards is different in NOT asking for a trade but they have similar traits the biggest being centers

No to Miller - that would be a PR disaster bringing in another fickle high $$ tender.

I think we should "mail it in" at the 2014 entry draft. Tell the nhl if any of the top 5 fall pick them, if not pick Virtanen. Then for these rest of the rounds just tell the nhl to pick the highest ranked player left according to central scouting as <5% of those players ever make the nhl anyway...

If you really want out that bad you have more than 2 teams on the list. Is it The franchises fault you want out. You made your bed lie in it or be more flexible.
