From what I can tell, it's a goaltending magazine. They're actively scouting the strengths and weaknesses of the players. They probably know a lot more about these guys than we do. I don't think Gillies has really
proven anything himself - his stats look nice but they're not all that unique at that level of play:

From USCHO.com
He played well in the NCAA tournament but it's not like he was flawless. He let in 3 goals against BU in the Championship game (including a big softie to open), he let in 5 goals against Miami IIRC too.
He hasn't really been great at the International level either.
