Rapports de dépistage de John Gibson

Gibson's game mirrors that of the rebuilding team he plays for.
There are nights he looks like a true #1A - but there are nights he also looks like less
Through 37GP he's posted a 3.16 GAA and a .896 save percentage
Big in the net. Has the quickness, and range moving side to side, to come up with the kind of saves others struggle to make. At times moody looking. No doubt he competes and cares - just in his own way. A change of scenery might benefit Gibson … but his $6.0M cap hit through 26/27 and 10 team no trade clause might stand in the way.

Gibson can be difficult to evaluate
The Ducks are a rebuilding outfit who give up more high danger chances against than the majority of NHL teams. Their goalies are generally under consistent duress and have to be the teams best player on a nightly basis. Some nights Gibson is up to the task. Other nights he looks defeated. The positives include - good size - good quickness - generally sound crease composure - The negatives include - rebound control and tracking side to side can range based on how fast opponents make plays in front of him - mental make up looks shaky at times Signed through 26/27 $6.4M AAV - 10 team No trade List - Change of scenery could bring out his best

Ranges between a #1B - #1A.
Some nights elite. Some nights average plus.
His last couple years have seen share of ups and downs, including battling injury.
Splitting the games, so far, to start the 23/24 season.
More structure in front of him agrees with his game. Butterfly. Good athlete. Tracking very well. Reacting to make timely saves at key moments. Battling. Has a more engaged look to his game. Looks closer to the goalie he was between 2016-2019 compared to the last couple seasons.
His GAA is down dramatically (3.99 last year compared to 2.21 so far this season)
His save percentage is also much improved (.899 last season compared to .926 to start this year

When healthy he can be one of the top end goalies in the league.
Has struggled with injury which has held him back for stretches
Moves well. Good gloves. Plays the puck. Battles for his crease. He can steal games.
When watching him play you wonder how his numbers aren't better than they are.
Playing behind a more veteran group would likely improve the optics of his stats.
Signed through 2026 - 2027
AAV $6.4 million
