Troy McClure 347 Report post Posted December 14, 2023 NJD now talking with Verbeek about Gibson... gotta think the Berggren rumors may have something to do with Gibson if he is being shopped by Verbeek. Husso + Berggren + 3rd, for Gibson? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kipwinger 8,675 Report post Posted December 14, 2023 The return on Gibson will be interesting to me because he's a good goalie, but he's making a lot of money and has a lot of term, and most contenders won't be able to take that contract on without sending something back. This is basically what happened with Chychrun last year at the deadline. Arizona didn't want to take anything back so they had to settle for less. That said, taking back an expiring contract (like Husso) shouldn't be an issue for them. It'll be interesting to see how this shakes out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I REALLY like Ilya Lybushkin. Dude is loctite on D. Maybe something like a Petry+ for Lybushkin swap? Alas, the optics of trading away the home town loser probably stops this... Henrique and Silverberg don't entice me much, but at 50% retained they entice me a lot... Gotta think hate ball and Yzerman could dance together this year given their teams respective situations.

I really don't care about bringing in any forwards considering how well we play offensively. I also obviously like our internal options on defense. Goalie is the only upgrade that makes sense to me, but I agree that SY and Verbeek have every reasons to help one another. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We won't be 100% healthy come game 1 of the playoffs. Guys like Henrique or Silverberg exist just to fill voids with something useful. If they can be had for reasonable expense I'd rather see them on the 3rd or 4th line than Fischer or Czarnik or Luff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Troy McClure 347 Report post Posted December 15, 2023 5 minutes ago, kipwinger said: Good point. Kinda dumb, but with Tampa struggling and Brisbois being Yzermans other homie, the player I would go after is Tyler Motte. Tampa doesn't have much else to offer besides Stamkos (who will be signing with us in the offseason). Motte is a Michigan kid and good friends with Larkin, Copp, and Compher. We could probably bring him in for a measly 7th to be a 4th line PK center. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After seeing how fast and aggressive and strong our team is playing, and how all-in our team is on defense, is anyone else thinking maybe he'd be a bad fit? Even if his hip surgery was wildly successful and he's back to something close to a top end player, isn't his style of play all wrong for a team like what we're seeing on the ice? I'm just going to leave this here. 1 1 mackel and The 91 of Ryans reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
