The Red Wings are acquiring goalie John Gibson from the Anaheim Ducks, according to a Saturday morning report from Elliotte Friedman and Frank Seravalli of Sportsnet. Gibson, 31, has spent his entire 12-year career with the Ducks. Petr Mrazek, a veteran goalie in his own right, is reportedly headed to Anaheim in the deal along with draft capital.

Bear and second-round selection Eddie Genborg are similar players. Both enjoy the physical part of the game, enjoy getting to the hard areas of the ice, and play the type of game Kris Draper, the Wings' director of amateur scouting, liked watching in the playoffs.

The Detroit Red Wings acquired John Gibson from the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday, a trade of the veteran goaltender that could start the dominos falling around the NHL with several teams looking for help in net.
