Mrazek is way better than MAF.

Mrazek has proven success with our team, system, and defense. He also has a .900 on a bad Blackhawks team which is way better than what Raanta and Kochetkov are putting up on a good Carolina team.

I still remember that collapse game in the playoffs vs the lighting a couple years ago. I can’t go back to Peter.

He’s the best cheap option that’s probably available.

Gibson is 100% available as he’s asked for a trade before. It just comes down to compensation vs. retention. Gibson is owed a lot of money over the next few years and while the Canes could probably fit Gibson in if they put Andersen on LTIR and moved out Raanta and one of Drury or DeAngelo, I don’t know if the Canes would want to pay Gibson $6.4M a year over the next few years. A trade for Gibson also means Andersen isn’t going to be available until the playoffs because there’s no way we could open up enough cap room for him to return in season.

I’d be open to something like this…

Carolina Receives: John Gibson @ $5M ($1.4M retained)

Anaheim Receives: 24’ 1st Round Draft Pick, Antti Raanta, and one of Vasiliy Ponomarev / Ryan Suzuki

OR

Carolina Receives: John Gibson @ $5M ($1.4M retained)

Anaheim Receives: 24’ 1st Round Pick, 25’ 3rd Round Pick, and Pyotr Kochetkov

But we could use the playoff cheat code every Stanley Cup winner has used since TB won after the bubble year.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By strato · Posted

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
