We continue our march towards hockey with more player previews. Today we speak about a few newcomers. John Gibson is the newest goalie to join the Detroit Red Wings in their attempt at resolving their goalie woes — But how much hope is reasonable? James van Riemsdyk looks to provide a strong net front presence down the lineup — except he might be playing LW1 out of neccesity. That is unless Elmer Soderblom takes another step forward in his game and continues to surprise us. #LGRW

The young forward put up more than 50 points last year at just 22 years old with the cellar dwelling Ducks. How much should Detroit be willing to give up in a potential trade for McTavish?
