Really the issue is it's impossible to know how close he is because of the injury.
In the 7 games pre-injury the kid had 2 shutouts and a .920 save percentage which is pretty good.
Maybe Gillies doesn't get hurt, puts up a .930 save percentage in the AHL and then everybody is saying his performance in the AHL this season was just as good as what Matt Murray did last season.
Murray looks like the better goalie right now but that's just because he's actually had the opportunity to prove himself. Sadly the injury prevented Gillies from getting that opportunity.
