24 years old, only his second year of Pro hockey only his first year of being signed to an NHL contract.
In his first year he was the best D-man playing in the Detroit organization but not signed by the Wings.
There was a total lack of confidence expressed by the CP population in the Flames management going out and getting Billins to the 925,000 ELC with a $92,500 signing bonus.
He was ranked behind a 5th round 2013 pick Roy and the 6th round pick Harrison and same as the 7th round pick Rafikov. yikes!!!

Give me a break. We all know those polls were a good part popularity contest, and most people knew little if anything about Billins.
