I don't really like the deal. Imo not worth signing more than 3-5 goalies (price, quick, Rask and maybe bobrovsky or Rinne) in this league for more than 4 years at a time. Even legit starting goalies are notorious for taking large steps back and having confidence issues (halak, Talbot, Murray, holtby, even Rinne at times etc). Gibson is not a top 5 goalie in the league so don't see the value in signing him for 8 years.
Would rather pay a bit more for the ability to reassess after 3 or 4 years...I'm not saying his game regresses, but I'm saying there's a material probability he does at some point over the next 8 and never recovers.
