I like this move a lot. Gustavsson is a good solid goalie and in Detroit, with the player support system they have and the higher caliber of players that will be around him, I think he can grow a considerable amount. Maybe even into a solid starter for another team after his deal is done.

Whoa there…
1) Howard is ‘THE’ man, no question
2) I like Gustavsson for the same reasons you both do….
3) But…. how can you discount what Joey did during ‘the streak’? That’s about as solid as a goalie can get. He was playing better than Jimmy did upon his return! He’ll probably be the starter wherever he goes.

And if Gus finds his game again and Jmac stays healthy and strong great trade option down the road at the deadline before a playoff run

IMO being out of that pressure cooker and having fellow swedes to play with might help him alot ! Good pick up didnt see it coming.

He was brought in to push Howard moreso than to be a backup. I like him.

He’s got the skills to be a real solid backup. Playing on a team with some good D will be a good change for him.

This is a good opportunity for Gustavsson to prove himself. And if he does, then Detroit will finally have a solid back up G again.
