Sujet: Finishing the Rebuild
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GenXHockey</b></div><div>Better fix that toronto trade, we have no use for Miller and liljegren alone is worth more than him.</div></div>

Actually I have to disagree with this and anyone else saying that this isn't fair. Liljegren is not really an NHL defenceman and he won't be again this year because he is behind so many guys on a depth chart not to mention that his fit in the D-core is questionable. You can put him on the bottom pair, but then he will likely be playing with Sandin, or Dermott, both also offensive D-men. You could put him with Muzzin, but then Holl has to play bottom pairing where he has shown he isn't great because he kind of needs his chemistry with Muzzin in order to play well. At the end of the day, the Leafs don't really need his services, now, or in the future. The Leafs also get rid of Mikheyev and Engvall, who they no longer want. Miller is a more valuble D-man than Liljegren and he could play bottom pairing with Sandin to enable Sandin's offensive game, then you could have Dermott as your seventh D in case of an injury or if you want to remove someone from the lineup.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>Edmonton declines both trades, especially the Anaheim one. Gibson has been replacement level since 2018, that's a huge overpay for a guy that isn't living up to his contract. Seriously, look at his numbers - you can get better goalies in free agency for less money and keep the 3 prime assets.</div></div>

I get that Gibsons stats are bad but I do think that that’s partially because he’s on a bad team. Before these past two years of Anaheim being miserable, Gibson was a top level goalie, which is what Edmonton is betting on in this trade. Even if Gibson can not reach those elite numbers again, it’s not a huge deal. Edmonton doesn’t need a world beater, they just need a solid goalie to with around 30-35 wins, 910 SVP and 2.5 GAA.
