Carolina should be all over this. 

Andersen has been better than Gibson and both him and Raanta are under contract another year.  They also combine for only 100K more than what Gibson makes.

I could see Anahiem trying to pry a 2023 1st round pick out of some team. even straight up, or a 1st plus a mediocre back up. Anahiem gets a goalie plus a 2nd 1st round pick next year to try to move up in the draft for you-know-who.

This rumour is interesting, partially due to Gibson only having a 10-team no-trade list. It's carefully worded to show he hasn't "asked" for a trade, but it "open" to it. But even if he wasn't, they could still trade him (and probably should do it, if they feel they're still a few years away from truly competing).

 

It's either a smoke-show, or someone trying to get wheels turning...

I can see Edmonton trying this with puljujarvi

 

More if Anaheim retains

Anaheim doesn’t want or need Puljujarvi.

 

They have way better prospects coming up.

 

If a team wants Gibson it would likely take a stud goalie prospect coming back like a Wallstedt or an Ukko-Pekka Luukonen.

Backgrounder from Yahoo.

Good to see Seravalli take one in the nuts:

Things have been looking up for the Anaheim Ducks lately, as the team finally sees the light at the end of the tunnel after a handful of years in the NHL doldrums.

The Ducks have a promising young core led by Trevor Zegras, Jamie Drysdale and Mason McTavish, just signed two-time Stanley Cup champion Alex Killorn and are adding 2023 second overall pick Leo Carlsson to the mix.

One of Anaheim's current stars, however, is not as convinced by the progress being made in SoCal.Goaltender John Gibson has reportedly requested a trade out of town, according to DailyFaceoff's Frank Seravalli. 

On an appearance on the Nasty Knuckles podcast on Saturday, Seravalli said that Gibson is "not playing another game for the Anaheim Ducks" and is seeking a move.

 

"How do you think John Gibson felt the last three of four years in Anaheim, just getting absolutely pummelled with shots on a nightly basis?" Seravalli said. "Knowing when you walk into the rink every day, that you have next to no chance to win."

 

Gibson has struggled since the 2019-20 season, as the Ducks have undergone an aggressive rebuild after years of contention in the Western Conference. In 52 starts last season, the 29-year-old registered a 3.99 goals against average and a .899 save percentage, both career lows. The Ducks led the league in shots against per game in 2022-23, allowing an astounding 39.1 pucks on net per night — a record in the salary cap era.

Anaheim finished dead last in the NHL last season with 58 points and a 23-47-12 record, and have failed to make the playoffs since the 2017-18 season.

Gibson owns a career record of 180-179-59, with a 2.83 goals against average and .912 save percentage. The Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania native was the Ducks second round pick (39th overall) in the 2011 NHL Draft.

Yup Seravalli is a scumbag. 

Yep.

 

There’s a reason why Friedman is well respected and this guy is just a wannabe. He has no tact at all.

 

So tired of him coming on 650 like he has sources when it’s just a bunch of baseless speculation.
