Red Wings acquire G John Gibson from Ducks

The Detroit Red Wings acquired John Gibson from the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday for fellow goaltender Petr Mrazek and a pair of draft picks.

The Ducks will receive Detroit's fourth-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft and second-round selection in 2027. There is no salary retention in the deal.

Gibson, who will turn 32 on July 14, is entering the seventh season of an eight-year, $51.2 million contract. He is slated to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the 2026-27 campaign.

Gibson posted an 11-11-2 record with a 2.77 goals-against average and .912 save percentage in 29 games (28 starts) last season.

A William M. Jennings Trophy winner along with Frederik Andersen in 2016, Gibson is 204-217-63 with a 2.89 GAA and .910 SP in 506 career games (494 appearances) since being selected by Anaheim in the second round of the 2011 NHL Draft.

"We want to thank John for his time with our organization and being an integral part of the Ducks for more than a decade," Ducks general manager Pat Verbeek said. "It became clear John wanted a new opportunity, and after many discussions with him we felt now was the right time to make this move.

"John and his family became a major part of the community and their dedication to Orange County will leave a lasting impact. We wish John and his family all the best in their next chapter."

Mrazek, 33, went 2-2-0 with a 2.49 GAA and .902 save percentage in five appearances with the Red Wings. He was acquired from the Chicago Blackhawks at the trade deadline.

Mrazek owns a 180-176-40 record with 2.85 GAA and .906 SP in 428 career appearances (397 starts) with the Philadelphia Flyers, Carolina Hurricanes, Toronto Maple Leafs, Blackhawks and Red Wings.
