Gilmour is more Giordano than he is Russell. The similarities in their playing style at the same age is actually kind of spooky. Gilmour could be a gem if they give him a chance. I really like the way he thinks the game and reads plays.
A guy flying under radar right now is Harrison. He's a guy that I think fills a need on the Flames. He's got speed to burn and is a pest. He loves the physical stuff too. I could see him being one of those energy players, providing a boost like Byron did for us last season. He's not going to be a big time scorer, but he will kill penalties and drive defensemen crazy on the forecheck.
