Why would Gillis sign a college grad during the season? Will he ever make the team?

We are all Canucks.

Hey you never know. I like Gillis being pro-active. Awesome! The kid apparently has huge upside. Gillis is stocking the system. Smart dude.

Yepp, if you identify a good prospect you might as well sign them asap, as long as you aren’t encroaching on the 50 contract limit.

encroaching on the 50 contract limit.

I wasn’t even aware of that rule. Nice.

So, he left UAA because the style of play by his coach wasn’t open enough for him. Hey, Eric…wait until you get a load of Viggy.
