Michal Postava had a stellar season with Grand Rapids last year, but will it translate at the NHL level? I'd give him every chance to unseat Calvin Pickard as Gibson's backup.

per Detroit News: Red Wings Must Decide Whether Postava is Ready

I think Michal Postava's time in Grand Rapids did him well, kid. He made some big saves down there when it mattered. Reminds me of Tom Barrasso's rookie season with the Penguins - took over mid-season and never looked back, @DetroitTom.

@GordieHoweElbows thats an awesome comp! Barrasso was a BEAST in net i think Postava has BIG shoes to fill but id love to see him prove me wrong!!! 😊

@GordieHoweElbows made some good comparisons with Postava and Barrasso's careers. Wendy, I think you're right to be excited, Postava has certainly shown flashes of brilliance in Grand Rapids, now let's see if he can sustain it at the NHL level per Detroit Free Press.

We don't need a "if" here, Tom - Postava's got talent for days and I'd bet my house he'll be the one starting games next season! LGRW!

LOVE YOUR ENTHUSIASM @WingsInFour but we still gotta get through this season with Calvin in net! And what's going on with the goalie situation that has Postava ahead of Cossa? 🤔

OO

cossa traded already, btw 🚨👀

HA! thought you folks were gonna be excited when Cossa's Calder Cup win didn't seem to mean squat in the trade department 🙄

@WingsInFour dont think we should get ahead of ourselves here CALVIN still in net NEXT SEASON for now!

@MotorCityMolly calm down Molly, Calvin's a great guy but he's gotta know his time in net's limited! We've got the next-gen talent like Postava ready to roll and I'm calling it now, he'll be the starter by season's end! LGRW!
