Of course, shortly thereafter, Gibson's agent (Kurt Overhardt) issued a statement that those rumours were false and that Gibson had not had any discussion of the sort with the Ducks. Finally, today, Gibson himself came out and denied the rumours.
TSN's Chris Johnston was asked about John Gibson's name in relation to the Leafs today, and the trusted insider revealed that he does not think that the Leafs currently have any interest in Gibson, nor have they engaged in any talks with the Ducks on the veteran netminder.
