Overview

• Detroit acquires Gibson in exchange for goaltender Petr Mrazek, a 2026 fourth-round pick and a 2027 second-round pick
• Anaheim retains no salary, transferring Gibson’s entire $6.4 million cap hit to Detroit while adding Mrazek’s $4.25 million contract
• Gibson joins the Red Wings with two years remaining on his eight-year, $51.2 million deal and is set to become an unrestricted free agent after 2026-27
• Ducks GM Pat Verbeek said Gibson sought a fresh opportunity and that both parties agreed the timing was ideal to complete the move
• The trade follows Anaheim’s earlier additions of Ville Husso and the recent rise of Lukas Dostal, reinforcing the team’s younger goaltending depth
