Prospect Info: Jon Gillies

[Calculon]

Surprised he isn't signed at this point. Figured they would have done anything to make him sign immediately following his post game shower.

Probably want to let them enjoy the victory for a day or two.

Any chance you guys wanna let us keep him one more year. I'd love a repeat and I think it would be great for his development. Nonetheless I'll be keeping an eye on him and the Flames especially with Janko also being a Calgary pick. Janko while somewhat pedestrian during the regular season had a big post season. Good luck in the playoffs, with my Bruins melting down I'll be pulling for you guys!

Do you think Janko's early season shoulder injury nagged him throughout the year? Watching Gilmour in the NCAA Tournament I feel like he was still suffering through his hand injury.

That could have played a role, at times he seemed extremely timid to muck it up and go in the corners. But to be honest there was never a lot of talk about his injury throughout the year among fans down here. To his credit he elevated his game in the tournament and hopefully we see his game continue to move in the right direction next year and tournament Janko becomes the night in and night out Janko. In fairness to his less than stellar number, PC does not play a system favorable to offensive playmakers like Janko, they're a defensive team who love mucking it up and lean heavily on their All-American goalie. Gilmour was never back to 100% after the injury.

The reason I was wondering about his shoulder is that his shots taken were down 20%

To say that this is a great signing and I look forward to seeing what Gillies can do now and in the future.

 

[Calculon]

Cool.

Looks like they want Jankowski to go back another year (or he doesn't want to sign).

Flames made it official. 3 year ELC.

Treliving told reporters that the contract has stated as of "30 minutes ago". Therefore the first year is burned.

[Johnny Hoxville]

Wish Janko would of put pen to paper at the same time, but I'm super excited about this nonetheless!!

 

[Anglesmith]

Guys, please discuss Jankowski in his own thread.

How good do you think Gillies is? Potentailly elite, good starter, or fringe starter?

How good do you think Gillies is? Potentailly elite, good starter, or fringe starter?

He hasn't played a single game of pro hockey in his career. Right now he has all the tools to be potentially elite, but so do a lot of fringe starters.
