2016 NHL Free Agency: Examining backup options for John Gibson

One of the Anaheim Ducks’ most pressing needs in free agency is to bring in a capable goaltender to backup John Gibson.

That’s not a knock on Gibson’s quality, obviously, but more so insurance as he has had a problem staying healthy in recent years.

Before looking at a few candidates for the role I should note James Reimer is not listed as his expected asking price - in both dollars and years - probably doesn’t make him a fit for the Ducks.

Chad Johnson

Johnson isn’t the sexiest name on the market but he has been quite reliable as a backup throughout his career.
