gibson has just been below league average the last 3 seasons.
its a huge risk, and you are praying its just a 3 year blip and he will return to 2016-19

and if he doesnt, you have 5 years of a bad contract.

I dont see how Gibson is not currently negative value that Anaheim need to attach draft picks to get rid of. The leafs always do for bad contracts

Gibson is a very good goalie on a terrible team. I don't like the length of that contract but at $6.4M its not crazy. Mrazek is poisoned landfill, Leafs paid a first to get rid of the Marleau deal which only had a year left. It will cost at least a second IMO to get rid of Mrazek and his two remaining years. Alternative is a buyout. He needs to be gone and it should be priority #1 before the draft.

Not always. Leafs unloaded Phaneuf and Zaitsev and got off ok.

Agree I'd rather bet on a good goalie than a hot hand

Plus with the cap going up it would be nice to have a goalie locked up when am and Marner need contracts

Seravelli projects 91.5M by 25-26, Friedman says a reasonable bet escrow is paid off by then

If they have to sign a goalie that season all of a sudden a 5M goalie today becomes a 6M goalie then

Marleau was basically done and was being bought out - the payment of the 1st was also because Marleau had an NMC and could control where he was going - and the deal was that he wasn't going to play for Carolina. Even after the deal, Waddell made one last effort to try and get Marleau to change his mind, but he wanted to go back to SJ and wasn't going to play, so Waddell honoured the terms of the original deal - to buy him out.

Mrazek could just need a change of scenery. His value has likely never been lower, but enticement to take him on shouldn't be that high. They gave up a 2nd with Ritchie to get Lyubushkin. If you're dumping Mrazek and getting something of value in return, then a 2nd is likely included, otherwise I'd think it's at most a 3rd or equivalent - or less. I think, and I believe, that a lot of NHL GMs also think that Mrazek is still an NHL goalie who just needs to play elsewhere. Take him for a 2022 7th and get a 2023 4th; if you have cap space, it's a risk worth taking.

Gibson - he has a great reputation. He had three great years. He came with all the expecations of the world, as well - and he delivered for 3 solid years. Great goalies still help elevate crappy teams - and this year's Ducks team wasn't that bad. Stolarz has outplayed him each of the past 3 years, but in those 3 years where Gibson was good, he was the better half of the goalie tandem.

Would a change of scenery be all he needs? I don't know, but there are about 32 million reasons to be afraid to find out.

I mean his stats don't really say he's good. Over 3 GAA over past few years, .900 SV%. Like what makes him good? Usually good goalies on bad teams have good stats.

I think it's a really big risk to take on Gibson especially if Anaheim moves on from him. He was supposed to be a franchise goalie. How does a team give up on that and the guy still be amazing?

Might as well go see if you can pry Varlamov out of the Islanders.

All the insiders said there was interest in him halfway through the year

I think teams with cap space will look at him as a free asset where they can even gain an asset as well as Mrazek playing like the starter he has in the past.

Same crap was said about Ritchie and look what it took to move him.

a 2nd and also adding Boosh which likely was worth a 3rd or 4th on the open market.

Price 2017-2021 only had one good year out of 4.

Grubeaur was atrocious after putting up 9 straight .915+ seasons

But was amazing in every post season.

It's just a feature of the society now, like the risk of rockets in the middle east. Nice place to visit.

"No one has scored more than 15 goals in one #StanleyCup playoffs over the last 25 years (Sidney Crosby, 2009, and Alex Ovechkin, 2018).

Evander Kane currently has 12 for the #oilers and he's still in the second round."

I remember everyone on here saying Kane was a brutal signing

Without him EDM has a 1st round exit, Mcdavid is sure happy with the signing

Goalies are voodoo, outside of a rare few in the league every year (Vaseline, Price, etc.).

Not sure its all voodoo

I think system and style matters as well

A lot of people mention Saros but being 5'11' and relying on positioning probably doesn't fit as well on the Leafs with their play style
