Yes, goalies are unpredictable, but that doesn't mean they aren't legit prospects. Gillies has played 12 NHL games already, and will almost certainly play more this year.

Pettersons earned his praise. I think we can acknowledge the. Through an insane work ethic and a drive to compete like few others. Pair that with the hands he has on display, tough not to bump him up a big huge chunk in the farm system rankings. From all accounts he earned the right to be his NCAA teams big dog.
We will see how his season goes but if he improves yet again, the Flames scouting staff should pat themselves on the back yet again.
I guess the thing that stands out for me the most is the fact he has taken his hockey career into his own hands and seems bent on forging his career the right way.
