Cozens isn't Eichel, he's right. But he may very well be Couturier. I simply can't comprehend how we are entertaining Cozens or Dahlin ++. We traded 21OA, Colin White for Lehner and people still cry about it.

Have we not learned from history that trading away quality assets for goalies rarely works out for the team acquiring the goalie?

Cozens
Dahlin
Eichel

I can’t fathom why we’d trade any of them outside of an Eichel trade request

It's just talk Rhino, not gonna happen. Would take some big Balls to do it, and there's only Pebbles in this Organization

Trading ROR took massive balls. The soviet union putting nukes in Cuba took massive balls. Neither were good ideas. Nor is trading any of the players you mentioned

ugh....social media...

Let the record show that the only person that mentioned Dahlin for Gibson was ME. And I said..AND I QUOTE...."If I am ANAHEIM.....Im talking Cozens even Dahlin and not Olofsson"

I hate trade talk..people think their players are always worth more than they are.

Guys like Olofsson are a dime a dozen in the league. Gibson is a workhorse, top notch goalkeeper. MUCH more valuable than Olofsson All Olofsson is ...is Stempniak, MacArthur, Hoffman, Maroon etc...etc....etc...Stop making him out to be Mike Bossy

Taking Cozens out, but how far have we gotten with these players. And ROR didn't want to play here anymore, we keep rolling with the same core and we keep ending up in the dumpster. Do I advocate trading them NO. But would I trade Olofsson, Ullmark or UPL and a 1st for Gibson if that got it done, in a heartbeat. And everyone keeps saying oh Dahlin, well he's gotten worse in the 3yrs he's been here, not better. He's young and definitely could get better but unless something changes with Ralph, it doesn't look like it. Or you go get a top 5 goalie and let the kid loose and maybe we see this generational player we have been waiting for.

To bad no one in the organization has any balls to pull a trade like that off.

Agreed. This is why I Brought it up. Cozens is no Eichel and if we want to build on what we already have Gibson is exactly what all "you people" have asked for. A goalie that lets us play more aggressively.

Honestly how do you know this after what 9 games ?

Probably right, but it would probably get a conversation started, and work from there.

Well they're in a rebuild that will take him till he's 30 atleast sooo why would not trade him??? It gets them the best chance for the top pick this year, and they could speed up their rebuild by obtaining someone like a cozens.

And the situation with Lehner was just some buffaluck, I never minded him other than he couldn't make a save in the shootout for the life of him. I thought he played really great here and would have not minded him being our goalie to this day... We probably wouldn't need a goalie if that was the case but tis the past.

What are you talking about, why is Jack leaving if we go and get a top 5 goalie. So Jack can't score this year or Hall or Rhino or Skinner. Maybe with that goalie we see Ralph change his system a little and Dahlin takes that next step.

At the cost of an elite prospect and first round picks etc ..

We have Goaltenders in the system already we just Need an above average goalie

EXACTLY. Why would anyone on this team leave if we got Gibson... We would be back to looking for a longterm 2c, skinner would be in the top 6, happy days would be ahead.

1 first rnd pick, it would hurt to loose Olofsson, but we have players ( Skinner) who could move up. We have players who can take his spot on the PP, if UPL goes we still have Portillo coming up in 3 or so years. I know it's not gonna happen but Gibson could push us over the top.

Everbody has goalies in their pipeline.... only a couple goalies under 30 with 6 years on their contract and they're both top 5... UPL wont be ready till 2025 you really wanna wait 4 more years for a goalie to be coming into the NHL... Ullmark is just getting to be a starter and you wanna wait for a guy who may not be good enough for the AHL right now LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL you are mad.
