In the fantasy hockey department, DobberHockey’s Puneet Sharma suggests that Red Wings goaltender John Gibson has gained fantasy hockey value after being traded to Detroit from Anaheim:
John Gibson – Detroit Red Wings
John Gibson finally gets a fresh start, landing in Detroit after years of trade rumors. The Red Wings desperately needed stability in net after cycling through five goalies last season, and Gibson brings experience and pedigree to the crease. The upside is still there, as when healthy, Gibson has shown he can be a legit difference-maker. Detroit offers a more structured system, giving up fewer shots and high-danger chances than Anaheim, which could go a long way in stabilizing his game. Still, durability is a concern. Cam Talbot is still in the mix, so Gibson has to prove that he can handle a lion’s share of the workload.
Continued; Gibson’s been banged-up off-and-on over the course of the past two seasons, so here’ hoping that his health holds up.
