Calgarypuck Prospect Ranking 2019 - Round 14

[Flames Draft Watcher]

Looks like another run off!

I wonder... who amongst us can describe to me the personage that is one Glynn Gawdyynn? I think I shall cast my sacred placard upon his shoulders, as I enjoy the fruits of this fine summer's day.

[Zoller]

I would be interested to see a run off for this pole as well. I realise since this morning Gillies has gotten more votes, but when I woke up it was only 1 vote difference.

It would be interesting to see if the votes cast for other forwards go towards Ruzicka or Gillies

[FanIn80]

I don't understand how Gillies is even getting votes. Has there been a better place than Calgary for a young goalie like Gillies to step up and grab the reins? How many training camps has he been cut from now without even earning a backup role?

What kind of competition has he had? Hiller? Ramo? Elliot? Smith? He's been in our system since 2012, and we've "had to solve at least one goalie issue" every season since 2013.

I know goalies develop slower than players, but in 7 years he hasn't even solved the backup issue for us.

So close it now and do a run off or see if Gillies wins it over night?

Yeah I agree, a runoff between Gawdin and Ruzicka does make sense.

[PepsiFree]

I’d say close it now and do a runoff. In either situation, if Gillies is going to win, he’ll win by tomorrow.

Druhé kolo volieb!

[agulati]

Let us do a run-off with Gillies and Ruzicka.

Gillies for me. Still reason to believe in him. Those NCAA SV% numbers were spectacular.

2nd half of season got him back on track. I wonder if he suffered as did many big goalies (Smith) to adjust to new equipment.

"From October to January, Gillies was 6-12-4 with a 4.05 goals against average and .868 save percentage.
From February to April, Gillies was 10-6-1 with a 2.76 goals against average and .916 save percentage."

"The recent reduction in the size of goaltending equipment may have benefited shorter goalies. The smaller goalies are a little bit faster, for the most part, and we've had to do more our whole lives, the whole way up for the most part," Dell said. "So I think now that they've made the gear smaller, I think the bigger guys have bigger holes. That equalizes it a little bit. I think the smaller guys get a little faster and it just opens up those gaps on the bigger guys."

Run off coming.
