Friedman: Oilers, Sabres, Leafs may have interest in Ducks' Gibson, Andersen

Elliotte Friedman was on Edmonton’s 630 CHED on Friday afternoon.

As part of a larger discussion on the Anaheim Ducks:

“I think one of the interesting things about the Ducks is they hold the key to I think a lot of off-season goaltending decisions. They’ve had a lot of teams – I think Edmonton has been one of them. Buffalo, Toronto have been among the teams that call them and say, ‘What are you doing with Andersen and Gibson? What’s your plan? How much longer until you decide you have to move one of them?’

“Knowing the Ducks being kind of a budget team, I think their preference is the two of them combined next year make $1.9 million under the cap. So I think that’s their goal, is to keep them together for one more year.

“But if they have a terrible playoff, and you can see a situation where they might, I wonder if all bets are off and one of those two guys goes.

“So I think Bob Murray has a lot of control over how the goaltender market is going to work this summer.”
