Ducks would be looking for a much more impactful package if they move on from Gibson

If the ducks trade gibson it probably includes the 2023 first t10 protected that goes to 2024, one of Blackwood/Daws (not that I love either for anh but it seems logical), and another quality asset

He's been declining year over year for the last 3 and the devils are a very analytics-driven organization. I don't think you'd get a first, but Blackwood, 2nd, prospect not named Hughes/Holtz I could see happening.

I know Gibson has not been good at all the last 3 yrs but I know someone will pay that for gibson whether it is Washington, Edmonton, etc. Devils I don’t think even see that much in gibson or have a ton of interest. They know the risk is massive on gibson if he fails on another team with a long contract, some organizations may not be able to realize the impact of that

i dont see the point in getting karlsson as a 3c. center is the most stacked position on the team. hughes and hischier top 2, then down the line mercer, mcleod, boqvist, zetterlund are all natural centers. may even draft cooley at 2 which would be another center. karlsson would basically be an overpaid (for his role) luxury piece unless he moved to wing.
