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.

Cross Tomas Kaberle’s face with Ulf Samuelsson’s and you get Walsky.

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.
