theminister Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Well, the Flames just traded for his rights so he can sign immediately. And has apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Because he's such a huge fan I would do something funny like get Sergio Momesso to call him haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theminister Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Gino! But as others have said, Flames have traded for his rights but that's no guarantee they sign him. If it was, then people should give more credit to Gillis for getting Hamhuis after his rights were traded to other teams (twice!) before he decided to go to free agency and then signing with the Canucks. Until I hear he's reached an agreement in principle (to be finalized on July 5) then it's possible he doesn't sign with Calgary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbal23 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Why are people suggesting he has to wait until July 5th to sign his deal? That would be only if he was a FA. Since he was just acquired by the Flames he's their property and they can sign him anytime, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuretoMogilny Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Why does everyone think he's a lock for Calgary? They traded for his rights, doesn't mean he'll sign. If you think about it leaving Florida for Calgary is a lateral move in terms of terribad. It could rather be the case that he's walking away from Florida in order to join a competitive team, regardless where he slots in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Edmonton really shouldn't bother with him, they've got enough young forwards - this kid isn't going to have any room to develop on that team. Calgary seems perfect - Alberta kid going to a team with essentially no depth at center. Of course he'd fit well into our development here. Although he has the same niche as Gaunce, the two of them would make a great 2nd/3rd line center or even higher. You need big physical defensive centers in today's NHL, Boston are proving that with Krejci and Bergeron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Looks like it's really all but done, so we can lock this up or change it to a "Flames sign" thread: Wes Gilbertson @SUNGilbertson #Flames C Corban Knight: “Calgary had the needs that I could bring to the table. And then it was close to home, so that was a bonus.” Raised a Canucks fan, Corban Knight now a 'diehard #Flames fan.'

WiDeN Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Maybe Gillis gets his rights thrown in on a Luongo draft day deal? Edit: Going to last page before posting helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
