Something else... A guy asked about Gillies. Treliving had high praise for him. He said that in Penticton, all the reps from the different teams got together to rate the best players and everyone had Gillies as the best player of the weekend (excluding that kid from the Oilers).

Unfortunately, he got bumped during the game against the Dinos and had some concussion symptoms (but not a concussion), which kept him out of a lot of training camp. Then, he went to Stockton and had a great first few games (2 shutouts in his first 3 games), but was struggling with his hip, so they decided he should have the surgery.

He has been in Calgary working with the staff and will be here for the rest of the season.

They have high expectations for him going forward.
