The Toronto Maple Leafs acquired Gilmour on January 2nd, 1992, alongside Jamie Macoun, Kent Manderville, Ric Nattress and Rick Wamsley for Craig Berube, Alexander Godynyuk, Gary Leeman, Michel Petit and Jeff Reese.
Marner was drafted by the Leafs fourth overall in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft.
Similarity #1: Small Stature, Big Drive
Gilmour was drafted 134th overall in the 1982 NHL draft because of his small stature. Standing at just 5’11” and weighing 175 lb, Gilmour was one of the smaller players in the league. That could be why he succeeded. If management undervalued him, then most likely, so did the players.
