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.

But your dividing the conversation now. I suggested not being concerned with the Jankow time line because Gilmour is basically pending. There are many D you listed that we wouldn't blink at if we signed Gilmour in favor of. Suggesting that it's a possibility Gilmour isn't offered a contract as a counter to my original point doesn't really discount the point. Even more so when you've just confirmed you feel he should be signed -as a fan-. The jumping to conclusions is based on the original thoughts on Jankow. My personal opinion is that all the concern with Jankow signing is jumping to conclusions, it's still within the 48hrs, Jankow was sick in his last game, Gilmour hasn't signed or officially "not been given an offer"... so meh seems like there is unnecessary panic regarding Jankow.
