8. John Gibson

From Pittsburgh, John Gibson played college hockey at the prestigious University of Michigan and the United States at the World Juniors.  The Anaheim Ducks took the American Goalie in the Second Round of the 2011 Draft, and it was the organization that he spent his first twelve seasons with.

Gibson made his first appearance for Anaheim for three Games in the 2013-13 Season, and in 2015-16, he split the William M. Jennings Trophy with co-netminder, Frederik Andersen.  Gibson was seventh in Vezina Trophy that year, and he has appeared in the lion's share of the duties between the pipes since. Gibson was tenth in Vezina voting in 2018-19, and he would be named to three All-Star teams.

Following the 2024-25 Season, Gibson was traded to Detroit.  With Anaheim, he had a 2.89 GAA with a 2014-217-63 Record.
