<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Two utterly horrible trades for Anaheim. Even if you buy into the uninformed idiocy that Gibson is a bad goaltender, four years of a starter is worth more than that. And if he's so terrible, how stupid is it to want him for four entire seasons at $6.4 million each?

Replacing four years of Gibson, who has played in fewer than 50 games only once in the last 7 seasons (and that due to the pandemic) with one season of the brittle 34-year-old Auntie Raanta, who hasn't played in as many as 34 games in the past five seasons, is just moronic.

Henrique is worth more than that with retention.

Dostal's Qualifying Offer is $874,125 and you aren't close to the cap floor.</div></div>

So comparing GP between Raanta and Gibson isn’t an even comparison bc one is his teams starter and the other is the backup. Not arguing the durability concerns just commenting on the comparison.
You call the criticism of Gibson “uninformed idiocy” my only question is what evidence is there to support that claim? The eye test, traditional stats and advanced analytics all say that Gibson hasn’t been a good goalie in 4 years.

Sujet: Buyout Hell Year 2
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>lafavs</b></div><div>The buyouts were mostly about cost certainty, based on everything I've read. Trading them without retaining salary was going to be difficult, given their declining performance and high price tags (and NMCs). And if one or both of them opted to retire before their contracts were completed, the Wild faced paying a recapture penalty. The buyouts <em>suck</em>, no doubt, but Guerin seemingly preferred to know exactly how much money he had to work with every year rather than making moves based on an assumption that he'd have more and then having the rug pulled out from under him.</div></div>

I wasn’t talking about any of that. You said there’s a reason Parise is making league minimum, the reason is bc he’s willing to take less to play on LI. He could easily get 3.5 on the open market

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NickC1988</b></div><div>I've been wondering... How do MIN fans view the buyouts? A lot of people praised Bill G for pulling the trigger and biting the bullet here, but this team hasn't gone anywhere in the playoffs. Sure it opened a couple roster spots up for younger players, but realistically, you move Dumba (Long overdue) and have more cap space available. Parise is making league minimum for a reason, and I get it. He's not effective anymore. Suter is still a top 4 D in DAL playing important minutes. I dunno. Seems like it may have given other players a chance to grow, but the team went nowhere.</div></div>

Parise has been extremely effective with NYI and had 21 goals this year making league minimum. The reason is that he already got paid and just wants to play on LI
