What is wrong with them telling people how they view our prospects? I get what you are saying, but what is with people nowadays just hacking on every single thing that comes through the media?
Cripes, I for one enjoy hearing things on our prospects - whether it is where they think they are, where they think they will be, etc. I would way rather get a candid response that beating around the bush on these things. If they think Gillies could challenge for a pro contract after next season, say it. What is the harm in it really? Gillies could read too much into it, press himself, and faulter? Good lord, if that is the case, then we really don't have much of a prospect in him. If anything I read that Weisbrod is challenging Gillies to be even better. You want a pro contract? Come and get it.
Also - if Weisbrod thinks he found a gem, and wants to let people know about it, good on him. It appears, as of right now, that we might have. I'd prefer this approach to the media/fans, as opposed to having socks jammed in our managements mouths.
