Penguins Reportedly Targeting All-Star Goalie At The End Of The Season
John Gibson's future, much like the majority of professional hockey players', is uncertain. While the Anaheim Ducks might decide to keep the 29-year-old to provide stability to their young team during a rebuild, they also might consider trading Gibson, and if they do, the Pittsburgh Penguins would be the favorites to acquire him.
Penguins Reportedly Targeting All-Star Goalie At The End Of The Season
If the Ducks decide to trade Gibson, they would undoubtedly get a great return for him. The Pittsburgh native has four seasons left on his contract, paying him an average of $6.4 million per season. Another factor that could come into play is Gibson's modified no-trade clause, which allows him to submit a 10-team no-trade list.
The Penguins are a strong contender as they will need a goalie, and Tristan Jarry hasn't delivered this season. Furthermore, Jarry is going to be an unrestricted free agent.
It's possible that Gibson could be the key for Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Kris Letang to win another Stanley Cup. As a top-tier goaltender, Gibson could provide the Penguins with the reliable net-minding they need to make a deep playoff run.
