That's a nice make up deal

If Gerbe continues to play 18 minutes per game with Jordan Staal all season, I will be fine with losing this trade.

IMO, a player doesn't get 18 minutes of TOI by accident. 13 maybe. But 18 per game on Line 2, with 1:10 of SHTOI/g + 2:51 of PPTOI/g is not "given" to a player.

Just ask Zac Dalpe how hard it is. I think Gerbe is a classic case of "landing on a team he fits".

And I've watched like 6 Canes games this year. He has looked unreal in all.

Also, the season's sample is incredibly small but his advanced stats have been great as well:

5v5

Offensive Zone Start%: 43.9
Off Zone Finish%: 49.3
PDO: 966
On-Ice Sh%: 3.23
Corsi On: 6.31
Corsi Rel: 8.9
Corsi QoC: 0.5
Corsi Rel QoC: 2.4


Being 0.550M in cap doesn't hurt either. I have 22K in space lol.

Btw - for those interested, I stumbled upon a nice article on Gerbe from Puck Daddy while doing the research for this deal. Short but a decent read:
