The Detroit Red Wings are weighing options for their goaltending situation as John Gibson struggles with a 4-7-1 record and 3.58 GAA this season. Following a recent 5-4 loss to the Florida Panthers, there is speculation about trading Gibson, who is on an expiring contract. Sources suggest Trey Augustine, currently playing for the Grand Rapids Griffins, could be a candidate to replace him, though opinions vary. Augustine has yet to play in the NHL and has recorded a 2.56 GAA in the AHL this season. Meanwhile, Michal Postava presents a more experienced option after playing in NHL games this year. The Red Wings need to make a decision ahead of the trade deadline.
