No one ever said developing a goalie was easy. Jon Gillies was drafted six years ago, has collected a ton of hardware, and put up great numbers along the way at every stop. Yet he’s still not quite NHL ready yet, as his half-shaky, half-alright big league stint indicated.
Is this the year he finally breaks through?
Background
Gillies was a standout for the Indiana Ice of the USHL (he even scored a goal!), picking up a top prospects game selection, a scholarship to Providence, and the #75th overall pick of the Calgary Flames.
