A bit of praise for John Gibson

DobberHockey’s Eli Feldman includes Red Wings goaltender John Gibson on his list of the “Top 10 Players on New Teams for 2025-2026“:

John Gibson, G, Detroit Red Wings

Following three-straight underwhelming campaigns, John Gibson ranked T-13th in goals saved above expected in 2024-2025, albeit, in just 29 games played. Gibson’s stellar performance last season was enough to entice the Red Wings, who acquired the veteran netminder in exchange for Petr Mrazek and two picks this offseason. Behind a Red Wings defence led by one of the league’s best rearguards in Moritz Seider, Gibson has a chance to replicate last season’s stellar play and, in turn, ingrain himself as the Wings’ No. 1 goalie.

Continued; if Gibson’s healthy, the Wings will theoretically see an upgrade in goal this season.
