Icon36 Rangers sign former Flames draft pick John Gilmour to two year NHL deal
Flames elected not to sign 2013 7th round draft pick. He became an UFA yesterday.

Mark Divver ‏@MarkDivver
Word is free agent defenseman John Gilmour (@johngilmour93) of Providence College has agreed to 2-year NHL deal with New York Rangers.

Happy for him, I thought he had just as much if not more upside than any of our 25+ ranked prospects.

Wow that's pretty shocking. A two year one way deal?

Not sure what Jeff Gorton is thinking on this one. A 2-year, 1-way deal? Wut?

Edit: nm, just read sureLoss' clarification

It's an entry level deal so I'd bet it's two way.

It is an ELC. Because of his age, the CBA says it is a 2 year deal. And all ELCs are two way

Good for him. I liked him as a player, but there's a lot of depth in front of him in the Flames organization right now.

Signings like this make it very obvious how deep the Flames prospect pool is. Not sure the Flames have ever been in a position to not qualify players who played well enough to be qualified. Kudos to the scouts.

it's an ELC, the term is decided by his age and all ELC's are two-way

It's a good sign when the Flames D depth is better than the Rangers'.

I think he could end up being a decent 6-7 guy.

Gilmour managed to get some performance bonuses out of NYR, but not max rookie base salary:
