John Gibson! Duh… Miller will definetly be the backup goalie for the foreseeable future barring any injury (knock on wood)

John Gibson and Ryan Miller

I don’t even feel the need to explain this one. John Gibson is a top 3 goaltender in the NHL and Ryan Miller is, in my opinion, a top 3 backup in the NHL. They’re brilliant and this one is set in stone.

Jordan German:

Not a very tough choice here, definitely Gibson as starter and Miller as a back-up. Gibson is a young superstar that has proved he can carry a team like J.S. Giguere once did, but for the occasional off day, Ryan Miller has always been a very reliable goalie, and he can go as long as needed as he did in 2017-2018.

Ciara Durant:

John Gibson and Ryan Miller

Goaltending is really the only part of the lineup the Anaheim Ducks have figured out. John Gibson is, without a doubt, one of the best, and yet highly underrated, goaltenders in the entire NHL. After signing his large contract prior to the 2018-19 season, he won’t be going anywhere anytime soon. Especially after his phenomenal performance as the team’s starter last season.

Ryan Miller has also acted as a first-class backup, allowing the Anaheim Ducks to be represented well in the net. Despite aging, he has yet to slow down, and barring injury like the one he suffered last year, he should perform well again this year as his career winds down to its end.
