Worst Case, Ontario
They have Gibby and Dostal in NHL then Suchanek, Clang, Buteyets for AHL/ECHL and Clara in SHL for the future. Very odd for them to sign another goalie.
Lots of depth but also a bit of an awkward spot where they would be an injury or ailment away from having an untested prospect (Suchanek or Clang) as backup at the NHL level or constantly up and down. It obviously isn't ideal that Suchanek has been injured but it allows them to sign Dansk who is a more natural fit to ride the bus up and down the highway as the #3 guy. Then you keep Clang in the AHL where he belongs right now, Suchanek as well when he returns.

Gibson is durable in a sense that he is able to play a starters workload of games each year and get shelled on a bad team most nights. But he also tends to end up with a lot of those day-to-day type ailments from the strain of said heavy workload. The Ducks #3 goalies have been up and down from the AHL a ton in recent years, even just for a day or two of riding pine.

Suchanek's injury must be long term. Besides, Ducks expect to see around 50 shots on goal per game and Gibby frequently gets hurt from shots to his facemask almost every game.

I say, he can Dansk, he can Dansk
You know he's not going to coast
He can Dansk, he can Dansk
He's doing it from post to post
He can Dansk, he can Dansk
Everybody look at your hands
He can Dansk, he can Dansk
Anaheim is taking the chance





...That is all I have to contribute on the matter.

Or another angle…

Let’s Dansk!
Put on your helmet, let’s face the Blues
Let’s Dansk!
Preseason game, only radio
Let’s Dansk!
Can’t see the goal light, light up my face
Let’s Dansk!
Good thing the crowd’s only empty space

If you shoot low, I’ll save a few
But if you shoot high … oh my
Because my blocker moves / too slow to stymie you
If you should aim / under the bar / you’ll surely overpower

With some of the other free agents available this signing seems odd. Was there a connection with him and the Ducks' organization?

He's a private Dansker, Dansker for money, plays when they tell him to play.
