For sure, that's entirely possible.

Gibsons current contract is his career. If he has any interest in winning, he won’t exclude contenders.

If he doesn’t want to win…. He wouldn’t be leaving California.

Kylington comparable?

Preds have re-signed Jeremy Lauzon to a 4 year deal at $2.0m per season.

interesting deal for a guy who's been on three teams since last summer (from Boston to Seattle via expansion and then to Nashville via trade) and who was effectively a third pairing defenseman for the Preds. But they've had success with those long-term gambles before, so who knows.

Not even close.

31 points in 73 games in his first full season for Kylington. 47 points in 168 career games.

7 points in 66 games for Lauzon. 18 points in 142 career games.

Kylington may come in at $2M on a one year deal, but not a chance he signs a 4 year deal at a $2M AAV. On a 4 year deal (I don't think either side signs one of that length) Kylington is probably a $4M AAV.

Interesting fact. Lauzon was drafted by the Bruins with the 3rd and final pick the Bruins received from the Hamilton trade.

it was also by far the best pick of the bunch, as Senyshyn was a complete bust and Forsbacka-Karlsson went to Sweden after two seasons. Sweeney's drafting is so bad, I have no idea how the man still has a job ...

Sure but can Lauzon play hockey and also stay on his skates whilst doing so? Points notwithstanding I imagine Kylington’s nigh constant baby deer impression may cost him a couple bucks.

While playing with Tanev though, while not playing with Tanev he is a mess. Being a defenseman, beside scoring, he needs to be able to defends.

Even though it's believed every Canadian team is on Gibsons no trade list Oiler fans believe he would wave that to play for them. They also believe they have a chance at Chad Bennington

I am sure Chad Bennington would sign a league minimum deal to play net for the Oilers actually.

[Bs&Cs]

I could be wrong, but didn't Gibson already refuse to waive for the Oilers? Could've sworn that happened around this past tdl.

I think that was MAF

Gibson had far worse numbers than Mike Smith this season...slightly better than Koskinen

“Chad, time to get up for school, and there’s a Kenney Holland on the phone for you about some hockey thing in Canada. What’s this about? Have you been messing around on the internet again?”

Oiler fans think they can land Gibson for Kassian and a 1st lmao. Kassian has serious negative value and the 1st will be a late one. Maybe if they add Hollaway.

Gibson has walked back that he wants to be traded.

"Gibson said he doesn’t have much of a presence on social media and that he first learned of the trade speculation when his agent, Kurt Overhardt, called him.

All of the rumors that I got in a call from Kurt yesterday are false because I haven’t had a conversation with anybody there,” Gibson said, talking from Pittsburgh where he spends his offseason. “None of that is true.”

I saw that on the Athletic and can't blame him. Markets that would be interested include Edmonton and Toronto and I can't fault any goaltender for not wanting to play in those markets as the Oilers throw goaltenders under the bus and in Toronto they are under the microscope. He can have a down year in Anaheim and nobody really cars outside of a few fans.

I think the only thing to entice Gibson elsewhere would be how much he cares about potentially winning a cup. Even though they have some promising younger players in Terry, Zegras, Drysdale, McTavish, Perrault... by the time they build a competitive team around those guys Gibson's probably at risk of losing his job to Dostal.

If he's content to play in California, be a starter for now, and just keep getting paid, then he'll stay a Duck. Based on that latest statement, sounds like that's the case.

[FlamesAddiction]

I think any goalie that signs with the Oilers has to be resigned to the fact that it may be the last NHL contract they sign, or at the very least, they aren't going to come out of it with stats that provide leverage for a future contract.

If they are looking at a goalie still closer to 30 than to 40 years of age, they are going to have to entice them with a long term so it will be a retirement contract. Goalies younger than 30 probably won't give them the time of day.

And very few cup contenders would want Gibson. He isn’t a starter on a cup contender and invariably they are set at starting goal (unless you think the Leafs are contenders). And he makes way too much for a backup (even at 50% retention it would be a lot).
