So San Jose is basically saying Gasseau isn't in their long-term plans and they'd rather take a 5th rounder than keep him. The swap of 4ths is pretty neutral, so this feels like a salary cap move or they're clearing space for something else.

Gasseau's got decent upside as a depth piece but his floor is pretty concerning given the limited offensive touch, so I get why SJ wanted out. The fact they only netted a 5th tells you the market for him wasn't hot.

San Jose paid to get rid of a guy, that's all you need to know.

This has nothing to do with goaltending so I'm not sure why I'm weighing in, but seems like a lateral move for both sides honestly.
