lol gonna retain Gibson (top 4 goalie in the league) for 7 years at 50 percent? lol

I get that the offer is overkill, but no team is going to retain $20+M for most of a decade.

Gibson's and Anderson's numbers are almost identical(NHL Career Totals: 2.63GAA, .917 Anderson, 2.53GAA, .918 for Gibson). Gibson is younger, and under contract, so obviously there is some value in that, but it's only a marginal upgrade for that package, no? Not to mention the retention... I don't expect to see any teams retaining anything for the foreseeable future.

If you think ANA trades gibson for that at all, let alone with 50% retention you're insane. Gibson isnt being traded at all, let alone for this

It's sad that you had Anaheim retain 50% on one of the best goalies/best value for a goaltending contract, and you're still a capped out team.

Uh that offer is very nearly 5 first round picks

All players there are progressing very well so far

The retention obv is weird but otherwise good grief

There is not one franchise level or potential franchise level piece in there, which is what Gibson is, zero reason for ANA to do this.
