Gibson Scouting Report
He delays, manipulates opponents with deception (even on pass receptions), uses the inside, and looks for activation opportunities after passing. Subtle plays – like a quick pump fake on reception, or angling his body away from his target – drive his value. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
Bottom Line for the Detroit Red Wings
The Red Wings went blue line with the second of their three straight picks, and Gibson is a solid player; he will be a nice addition after they drafted Axel Sandin Pellikka last night. The blue line was an issue in question, especially on the right side, and now GM Steve Yzerman has added two players in four picks to help the Red Wings out.
