Confirmed Signing with Link: Officially official, NYR sign NCAA UFA John Gilmour

:nod:

had to break up the monotony around here, it was either listing that transaction or another Nash to Anh. thread. I chose wisely. Wisely-er.

I have a feeling you guys are the dark horse in this. I think you can offer him the best shot at top 6 minutes on a good team. Not sure the Rangers really can give him top 6 without imminent player movement, which is possible or that they will be good. I don't think the Devils are in this, who goes the NJ on purpose? And Boston and Toronto are set to be bottom feeders for a while. So I think the Isles are really in the mix.

To be honest, I think Vesey sucks so I don't really care. If we sign him, great we got a free asset that probably won't be any good. If we don't sign him, great because some other team got a free asset that probably won't be any good.

Does Calgary have a glut of younger defensemen, do you think that is why they passed on signing him?

We do, with Rasmus Andersson coming on board this year, but even before that a glut of left shot kids (Kulak, Kylington, Culkin, plus Wotherspoon who may be AHL if he doesn't crack the roster in training camp) and a pair of kids who will likely be coming on board in a year (Hickey, Ollas-Mattsson). Even with that group we still have two more (Kanzig/Morrison) under contract needing a place to play. Gilmour got caught in a numbers game, Usually when you don't sign a 7th rounder it's because they were scrubs but I felt he earned an ELC on just about any other depth chart.

This is a good move for the Rangers, I liked Gilmour but he was caught in a numbers game with the glut of 1st and 2nd year pros we have on the farm and the other guys we still have in college.
 
How is this kid? Just did a quick search and it sounds like he's a little under-sized, but is a solid PMD. Doubt he sees any time with the big club this year, barring injuries, but how does he project?
