Trade Interest in Ducks Goalie John Gibson Increases

The NHL trade market is gaining momentum with significant interest in Anaheim Ducks' goaltender John Gibson. Gibson is linked to potential moves to the Colorado Avalanche or Carolina Hurricanes due to the Ducks' rebuilding phase and the emergence of Lukas Dostal as a promising goaltender. Despite concerns over his $6.4 million cap hit, rising salary caps and the Ducks' willingness to retain some salary make a trade more feasible. Both the Avalanche and Hurricanes have pressing goaltending needs, increasing the probability of a deal before the March 7 deadline. Additionally, other teams like the Edmonton Oilers could emerge as contenders for Gibson, though their current focus lies elsewhere.
