You guys have sold me on keeping Gibby.
Quite the young keepers. I go with Gibson over Werenski; even if you can draft goalies...I still assume that position is harder to fill and Anaheim and Gibson should be good moving forward. The only way I don't keep Gibson is if you've lost confidence in his ability to stay healthy. Some people don't want to tolerate injury risk; I get that in a keep 6 situation....

As some others suggested, I'm actually quite optimistic about the next half decade for the ducks.
Expansion will hurt, but that young defense will only get better with experince, as will Gibson.
Even when Rakell, Ritchie & Silferberg take over the primary offensive roles, Getzlaf and Kesler wills still be dependable forwards.
Plus you've got Cogliano who will probably play into his mid 60's
Should we be worrying about Gibson's injuries?

Injuries have always been a concern.
