They agreed with me that that there is a good chance that he turns pro after this season.
I stand by my prior prediction that Gillies will play a game for the Flames in 2014.
Not going to say publicly who I was speaking with, but mods can PM me if they like.

Interesting...I think it is going to be quite the time around here once the College hockey season ends. I was so focused on the obvious seniors signing deals with the Flames (Arnold, Agostino) and hoping that Gaudreau would leave a year early and sign next spring, but I didn't even think about Gillies signing a deal at that time.
Would be crazy to have all four of those guys sign and join the Heat/Flames down the stretch.
Feaster is going to have to hang on to those contract spots....I believe we currently have 5 remaining as long as Sieloff doesn't play 10 NHL games this season.
