Asked #Flames GM Brad Treliving for a scouting report last week on G Jon Gillies. Here it is ... “Obviously, the first thing you notice with Jon is his size, but he's not just a big body. He's a big body who has tremendous athletic ability. It's a real rare combination, quite frankly, in terms of a guy that big and that athletic. There's a real poise to him. He has a mature game. As big as he is, as athletic as he is, there's a quiet maturity to his game. He's not somebody who over-works or overdoes it in terms of his movements. And he has hockey sense. Some people, sometimes, don't think that hockey IQ is important in goaltenders. It's really important, in terms of being able to read plays and those types of things.”
