Quoting: GiggywithGibby
Gibson isn't the problem, not even a problem on the team. If we had a lesser goalie as our starter we would be dead last this season. If the users on here are anything to go off of, no one would give us enough value to acquire Gibson to make it worth our while anyway.
We have prospects to be excited about, Zellweger and Mintyukov, Dostal, and whoever we draft this year, hockey gods willing that it is Connor Bedard. But yeah, its been a rough go this year, I bought season tickets, I burn money on every game I can't attend selling them because no one wants to watch what happens on the ice, I am ready for the draft and look forward to who Verbeek gets to coach next season.
Off-topic, but how much were season tickets (if you don't mind me asking!)?
On-topic: Agree completely on Gibby. Priority 1 is finding a coach. The good news about this draft, and what we need prospect-wise, is that we're absolutely going to get a skilled forward prospect, regardless of whether it's 1OA (Lorddddd pleassssse), or 6th OA (Worst case scenario, which still isn't horrible). I was surprised by the "Take a big dman with 3 of the 4 picks in the first 2 rounds" strategy, but it worked out quite well.
I also think it's hilarious that, in addition to having both Zellweger and Minty leading the WHL and OHL in points by dmen, the Q leader is Luneau, who's almost as exciting as the other two (I've seen him in person a few times through the season, and he has looked better and better every time).
