I'm not advocating trading something significant, but if we were able to get a solid starting goaltender with two second round picks or a 2nd rounder and a B prospect, I think it would be worth it. I think Gilles could be the future, but there is nothing wrong with giving him a few more years of development in the AHL. Obviously if such a trade dosent work out then Reimer is not a bad 2nd option.
Also I was under the impression we don't need to protect Gilles in the expansion draft since he hasn't played 11 professional games this year therefore it dosent count. Has something changed to make that not valid?
