<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AC14</b></div><div>I don't exactly see where LaCombe fits in. Would love to have him. But unless he's a top pair defenseman already he doesn't really do anything that would change our course anytime soon. We're still locked in to Leddy and Krug for multiple years. Leddy has been relatively good since he's been here. Krug not so much. I guess maybe if we'd imagine that LaCombe is ready to play a top 4 role next to Justin Faulk.

The price isn't exorbitant by any means, I just am not exactly sure he is the caliber of player that we should be trading down for. I think it would be alot more beneficial for us to try and parlay our 2nds with the 1st to move up. But I also understand that possibly isn't an option either.</div></div>

He's projecting to be a fine top 4 player, probably 2nd pair long term, but he's had lots of games where he's been eating up minutes on his offhand playing with Fowler. I would imagine he plays just fine alongside Faulk, he's young and can handle the minutes.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TJTwolf</b></div><div>I think the second rounder being late and making it basically a full round step down is probably too much. If it were the Anaheim 2nd rounder then I'd probably consider it, with it being much of a muchness this year after Celebrini and maybe a handful of others) from probably 15 through to about pick 40. They'd maybe still have a shot at drafting Sennecke (my personal choice - seems to be ranked anywhere from about 19th to not in the top 40 so obviously pretty divisive) to keep building on his chemistry with Ritchie (and yes he'd definitely be off limits in most scenarios including this one) or at least a higher chance guy who might come through in the future. Looking at Sundestrom having arb rights is also possibly an issue. Not sure he'll be as low as 1.5 when currently on 1.8 even though he's regressed somewhat statistically. Even after all that I'm still not sure Gibson is the answer.

On the subject of the Mitts deal I think he may get lower term, lower cap hit and bank on himself adapting to the Avs game and earning a better deal later. Might also allow them to keep Trenin and/or Drouin somehow.</div></div>

If it's the Anaheim 2nd then there is no reason for Anaheim to consider the trade as only moving up ~10 spots isn't even worth the retention on Gibson for three seasons.

Georgiev clearly isn't. The UFA market is paper thin this season and even if there was a good option, you guys don't have the cap space to go hunting. This years headliners are Talbot, Nedeljkovic, and Samsonov.

Gibson, Markstrom, and maybe Ullmark are available on the market, but neither Boston or Calgary are likely interested in taking Georgiev the other way. Boston can't retain any salary and Calgary notoriously won't retain salary if there's term remaining.

And you guys aren't the only ones looking. New Jersey, Buffalo, Ottawa, Los Angeles, Toronto are all going to be trying to figure out their goaltending this off season.

Maybe you can convince someone to give you back one of your old goalies on the cheap in Grubauer or Kuemper since they've apparently lost their starting spots in their new homes.
