Playing against a pretty good sampling of good NHL players:
Johnny Hockey's performance at the World Cup in 2014 showed to me that he was NHL ready.
Looking at Gillies .931 .931 .930 save % at Providence gets me excited about him being the Flames elite goalie in a year or 2. Hellebuyck had .951 and .942 his 2 years in Hockey east.
The Jets gave him a full year in the AHL and in his first pro year he had a .921% SV....
That was not quite as Ortio's second try at the AHL .926 and I would be very please if Gillies can match them.

He plays on a team that is defence first so he is never going to put up the same kind of numbers as other guys, ummm wait? Never mind
