Overview

• Anaheim sent 31-year-old goaltender John Gibson to Detroit on June 28 in exchange for veteran netminder Petr Mrazek, a 2026 fourth-round pick and a 2027 second-round pick with no salary retained.
• Gibson is in the seventh season of his eight-year, $51.2 million contract carrying a $6.4 million cap hit and remains under contract through the 2026-27 campaign.
• Ducks general manager Pat Verbeek said the deal fulfills Gibson’s wish for a fresh start and supports the rise of Lukas Dostal as Anaheim’s clear No. 1 goalie.
• Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman added Gibson to bring veteran depth and stability to Detroit’s net as the franchise aims to end its nine-season playoff drought.
• Mrazek, 33, signed through 2025-26 on a $4.25 million cap hit, will back up Dostal in Anaheim and provide experienced support in goal.
