I think Gillies has the upside of Pekka Rinne..

A huge goalie with elite capabilities.

This guy is the reason we had no issues with trading Brossoit. With Ortio succeeding and Gillies en route there wasn't much room for Brossoit to get the playing time he needs to develop properly.

Gillies will probably turn pro next season. I think he is a better goalie prospect than most people realize. Last year Wiesbrod said he was their #1 prospect.

I think he is one of the prospects I'm most excited for. A home grown goalie is rare in Calgary.
