Haha, no thanks. Retaining for 5 years won't be cheap, nor is Anaheim in a position to be giving up picks for a mid-six forward with upside, and a late 1st (plus cap dump)

Uh where's Yamo and Clouder?

Anaheim wont retain, they have no reason to when the demand for a starting 1A goalie is high.

The rest of your lineup is terrible. And are you just letting Yamo walk or??? This team would be lucky to even make the playoffs, but first rnd exit for sure.

Not a Edmonton or Anaheim fan, but I don't think Anaheim adds picks to this deal as is. I think Edmonton might have to add Samorukov and then Anaheim would add a 2nd

So I say:
Edmonton Receives:
John Gibson
2022 2nd Round Pick (PIT)

Anaheim Receives:
Puljujärvi, Jesse [RFA Rights]
Kassian, Zack
Samorukov, Dmitri
2022 1st round pick (EDM)
2022 4th round pick (ANA)

As you say, Kassian is a cap dump. So let's assume he has no value (not negative value, just no value). That means this trade is Puljujarvi and this year's first for Gibson, our 2023 second and a fourth. That's a joke. Either your GM think Gibson is worth trading for, or he's not.

Take out Anaheim's second and the retention and replace Samorukov with Broberg and the deal makes sense for the Ducks.

I think the trade suggested by KPasty is certainly closer. Maybe switch who's giving the 2nd and 4th Round picks (perhaps Anaheim includes no pick at all . . . ?) Agree with OldNYFan . . . you either want the player or you don't. Retaining with that much term is tough, I will agree. But Anaheim also needs to keep it real . . . If it's a must that they trade Gibson (from the reports of his discontent, etc.), they are doing so at his lowest value and that cap hit and term don't increase his value in the slightest. Plus it dramatically reduces the number of potential suiters the Ducks will find in a trade. Edmonton shouldn't consider for a second trading a package like this with Broberg or Hollloway included . . . or anyone else I'm sure they insist GIbson is worth. JMO

I put this together in like 20 mins, forgot about them. I couldn't care less about either team so I just threw something together quickly. My mistake on Yamamoto, but idek who Clouder is

McLeod lol, those two would be key cogs going forward with how crappy our bottom 6 is

agreed
