A similar deal Freddie got is my whish. I'm still a little worried about his health.

That would be ideal but Gibson I think is significantly better than Freddie was when he signed his current deal. Ultimately Hellebuyck signing for what he did likely guarantees Gibson at least 6. The only thing he has going against him is health.

Average salary goes only up.

But IIRC Gibson has more RFA years than Freddy did. And Gibsons injuries WILL be a factor in his contract

Gibson because he came into the league at a young age is only one year from UFA after this one. So he’s in the exact same spot Andersen was in terms of contracts. After this one expires he has one RFA year left.
 
Has been our MVP so far this season hopefully he stays healthy and continues to play so well. Still can't believe he didn't do better in Vezina voting from last season.

He will need some rest eventually, but no goalie needs rest after four games with none being back-to-back. Even when they're one-sided.

While I agree, I am taking this from last years RC usage of him and the fact that Gibby has to face more shots than most goalies.
 
Probably my favourite ANA goalie after Hebert. I hope he stays healthy, and wins a couple of Vezina trophies as a Duck.

He and Andersen were the first duo to win the Jennings for ANA. I hope he's first to capture the Vezina as well.

Also, he seems much more comfortable/relaxed in interviews compared to prior years/seasons. So... yay!

He's become a lot better with fans. Early on, a lot of people said he was... stand-off ish I guess? Or maybe a little arrogant. Last year I wanted to get a birthday card autographed for my mom (she just started following hockey a couple years ago and Gibson is her favorite player), and he offered to personalize it for her. I never met him early on, but sounds like he's gotten a LOT better with fans.

In the season opener in SJ in the post game interview with Pierre, he was amazing. He was indeed a very closed personality early on, but he seems to be way more happier these days. Cool to see!

If he's not the best goalie he's top 3. What happened in the vezina voting last year was a joke. Bobrovsky was really the only goalie comparable in performance

This. He's definitely Top 3. This team will make the playoffs just like the Canucks did in 2007 with Luongo being the reason they got in. They also lacked a elite D-man but had 3 #2s in Salo, Ohlund & Bieska as well.
 
He certainly is saving the most shots but the ''TOP3 for sure'' thing is a bit weird imo.

Him not getting it might have saved the Ducks some money with that contract...so there’s a glass half full take

The so called "advanced stats" on goalies last year rated him and Bobrovsky above everyone else by a fair margin. I think they have merit, bc they show what we all saw, anaheim was very bad defensively last year
 
If John Gibson is injuring his groin (which is a lower body injury), but as always is standing on his head. Isn`t it automatically an upper body injury because he`s upside down?
Just asking
 
I feel bad for Gibson.... hes clearly getting frustrated... doesn't seem like the team is even bothering to defend him when people are in his face/paint.
 
NHL awards race: John Gibson's case for the Vezina and the Hart

It's ESPN... but all the same, it's nice to see someone in the media who's absolutely batshit crazy about John Gibson's performance this year. I think having him as the leader for the Hart is a tad excessive given the field, but it's nice to see the guy who carried us to the playoffs last year getting a little more recognition than 6th in overall Vezina voting.
