I would think the ducks would accommodate and not send him to a team he didnt want to go to.
I just posted that to say that I guess the Flyers could be one of those teams. BUt if he is guaranteed a starting role etc maybe he wouldn’t put Philly on the list. That being said, I wouldn’t want to trade for him.

No doubt Verbeek will abide by the 10 team list. After that, it is try to get the best deal possible for his team. Dostall is an RFA. who played in 54 games. As of now, I would assume Dostall is the #1 goalie in ANA. From Gibson’s perspective, getting out of ANA might be something he looks forward to for a variety of reasons. First, he has been there his entire career. A change of scenery might be appealing. Being traded to a Metro team has a lot of travel advantages staying with a team in the Pacific Division. I do not think it is a stretch to believe the Eastern Conference is not as strong as the Western Conference for a team to make the playoffs. Finally, Gibson is from Pittsburgh so a chance to live on the East Coast might be appealing. The Flyers might have the inside track to acquire Gibson simply because they have the ability to take on his entire contract without ANA retaining. I just doubt the organization stands pat in goal and the UFA market is really slim.
What I meant was if the flyers were not one of the 10, they would ask him first not just trade him.
IMO gibson wants a shot at a cup or a minimum the playoffs. cant see him or any vet with some control wanting philly in the last few years of their contract. assuming they are interested in winning.
I know Bill said no way, though it would not shock me to see the flyers pursue CC. Overpay on a 2 year deal.

I get that. Gibson has been there a long time. I do not think the would just trade him without talking to hi first. Goalies know the flyers a perceived goalie graveyard. dont see a guy like him choosing the flyers. if he was a free agent with not many good offers, then my opinion would change.
Just run it back with what you have. I want a shot at McKenna — Therealbigge
Not going to happen. The hiring of Rick Tocchet screams playoffs or bust. I would expect Briere to be active this offseason, for better or worse.
It depends on their expectations for next season. Do they want to lay a foundation here through the draft, or do they want to be as competitive as they can come hell or high water?
“Just run it back with what you have. I want a shot at McKenna”
I just don’t see that happening, unless they get extremely luck and win the lottery, assuming they’re bottom 10 or 11 finish or whatever it is to allow them to move up enough spots.
They aren’t think playoffs or bust in 2o25-26. They hope to get a little better next year and a lot better in 2026-27. Will it work? It’s fair to say believe it when you see it. This is now an 11-year-process, and counting. Three different GMS, various coaches, but still, one long cycle with only one playoff series win and a lot of playoff misses. It’s fair to be skeptical until you see results.
