To start, Florida isn't loosing both Reinhart and Montour, by loosing one they can afford to pay the other.

Secondly, we had Montour for years, he didn't work out then, or in Buffalo, he had a single freak season in Florida, and now appears like a regular 3/4 guy again, he's not what we need, we need a mentor for Mintyukov. We should be looking at Peace or Roy, and use money to get a shorter AAV.

Reinhart is a great target, but I wouldn't expect him to ever repeat this season, and I wonder if he'd take that, given the tax differences here to FLA are a huge savings.

To answer the question, 22-26th overall, the defense would still be an issue, we'd still allow too many goals against. We really need another defense first D for Mintyukov, if that means keeping Luneau and Leshunov in SD for a couple seasons then so be it.

Sujet: Gibsons Value
Having looked into his advanced stats, and having watched him play extensively, his only issue is engagement. His high danger and medium danger GSAX is still up there with the best goalies in the league, it's his low danger that's been suffering, and that comes down to stuff that happens as a result of defensive lapses, blown coverage, just not getting any help from his own team.

He's clearly frustrated with getting wheeled out to take a beating behind a suffering team, the vibes aren't there a lot of the games. I've been in the same situation in beer league where I stand on my head for half the game, my team does F*** all to try and compete, and I just stop caring since no one else out there is, and I'm not going to hurt myself in a game that is already over.

As to his trade value, it's hard to know, we have no problem with salary and are very happy with a Gibson Dostal tandem, he's a great.mentor for Dostal who still yoyos from game to game with his performances. The only reason he moves is a sufficiently attractive offer or him actually demanding a trade.

As to last seasons rumors, Verbeek wasn't shopping him, Dubas was calling on him and the Toronto media went crazy on the rumour to the point Gibson's agent had to release a statement publicly stating he had no desire to go to Toronto. The rumors about Gibson never suiting up again were Frank Seravalli, who is a known rabble rouser with Anaheim info, dude hasn't been right about anything on our team, basically ever.
