<p>The Toronto Maple Leafs need a goalie, but it doesn’t sound like John Gibson will be their guy.</p>



<p>On Sunday, Sportsnet radio host and former NHL forward Nick Kypreos tweeted a quote he attributed to Kurt Overhardt — a veteran NHL player agent whose clients include Jaccob Slavin, Nick Schmaltz, and Gibson — about what the future might hold for the Anaheim Ducks’ starting goaltender.</p>



<p>“John Gibson has absolutely no interest in playing for the Toronto Maple Leafs,” Overhardt said. “He is committed to the Anaheim Ducks.”</p>

<p><meta charset="utf-8">Gibson, 28, posted an 18–26–11 record and a .904 save percentage in 56 games with the Ducks in 2021–22. He has recorded a save percentage below .905 in each of his last three seasons.</p><div class="injected-ad injected-video" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="0" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="155"></div>



<p>The 6’2″, 210-pound goaltender has five years remaining on his contract, which carries an <meta charset="utf-8">annual cap hit of $6.4 million. Gibson’s deal includes a modified no-trade clause which allows him to submit a list of 10 teams to which he would not accept a trade.</p>



<p>Shortly before Kypreos posted his tweet on Sunday, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman <a href="https://twitter.com/FriedgeHNIC/status/1546195439036284928">reported</a> the Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators have engaged in “intensified discussions” about a trade involving goaltender Matt Murray. </p>



<p>Murray, 28, won the Stanley Cup with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2016 and 2017 before being traded to Ottawa in 2020. The 6’4″, 202-pound goaltender has struggled to remain healthy over the last two seasons and was reportedly almost traded to the Buffalo Sabres on the day of the 2022 NHL Draft.</p>



<p>The Maple Leafs currently only have two goaltenders signed for the 2022–23 season: Erik Källgren and Joseph Woll, who have combined for 18 career NHL appearances. Jack Campbell, the Maple Leafs’ 2021–22 starter, is a pending unrestricted free agent.</p><div class="injected-ad" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="1" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="167"></div>
