I should be clear. I think Gilbert is an adequate player. If I were to compare him to Butler it would be like this

Offense:
Butler <<< Gilbert

Physical play:
Butler > Gilbert (not by much)

Defensive zone play:
Butler > Gilbert

Puck handling:
Butler <<<< Gilbert

Decision making:
Butler < Gilbert (but not by much)

Overall Gilbert is the better defenseman, but not defensively or physically which is what the Flames need upgraded badly. I just don't think he's a good fit for us.
