5 Questions with The Sporting Tribune’s Derek Lee ahead of Kings-Ducks matchup
Question No. 5: John Gibson is a good goalie. Does he like playing for a rebuilding team? Or do you think he will move on from Anaheim sometime soon?
"A: “I can’t speak personally for Gibson, but he does enjoy playing in Anaheim. He does a lot in the community and has his family here. I do think he would prefer to play for a team that’s winning a lot more though. The ball is in his court on whether he wants to keep playing here or move on and I think Pat Verbeek will be more than willing to accommodate him if it came down to that scenario.”"
John Gibson is a 29 year old netminder for the Ducks and at his age, you would think he would want to play on a contending team. But, from the sounds of it, it’d be hard to give up having your family in the same city and playing the game you love.
If the Ducks can expedite their rebuilding process with, potentially, even Connor Bedard this offseason, then staying in Anaheim may not be such a bad long-term plan. Wishing nothing but the best to Mr. Gibson.
