Acknowledging that something is "possible" is not jumping to conclusions. It's pointing out realistic alternative scenarios.
We have the following young LHD developing:
Jokipakka (NHL)
Wotherspoon (Pending RFA)
Kulak (ELC)
Culkin (ELC)
Kylington (ELC)
Sieloff (ELC)
Kanzig (ELC)
Gilmour (Unsigned)
Hickey (Unsigned)
Ollas-Mattsson (Unsigned)
Rafikov (Unsigned)
And we may potentially draft a guy like Sergachev/Chychrun/Juolevi/Bean if that's the BPA in the first round this year. I don't see why it's out of the question that they pick a couple to cut bait with, and Gilmour is the oldest of the bunch, and the smallest. Sieloff and Kanzig might be the worst, but they're both signed for another year and two years respectively.
I like Gilmour and I'm one of his fans on this board. I want him signed. I'm just pointing out what's possible, not what's actual.
