elvis15 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Here's my post from the trade thread: Captain at Notre Dame this year, he had 30 points (11/19) in 33 games last season. +18 with 2 game winners as well last year. Here's a bit of their write up on him: http://www.und.com/s...llo_jeff00.html Interesting player, likely not top end/top 6 at the NHL level without further development but will probably at least be more effective than Mullen in the AHL, as Mullen is a bit redundant with all the defensive depth the Comets have. Hockey DB has him at 19 points (11/8) in 34 games this season so may have taken a step back from the added responsibility of wearing the 'C' this year.

Utica Fan Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Does he have to finish his college career BEFORE he can report to Utica? Or, will he report somewhere else BEFORE coming to Utica? How does the college system work for these young players? Sorry for the questions, I'm just learning all rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WonderTwinPowers Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 First he'd have to quit/finish school and sign a contract. Then he could play for Utica or the Nucks depending on what kind of contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCAA is finished mid-april. i doubt he gets a contract after his season is over. more likely to get a pro tryout. that is, if he's good enough to warrant a tryout.

Joel Heyman Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Seems like another Mike Duco, maybe he'll have some good production at the AHL level though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Gillis has a love affair with college hockey players...how many of the ones he's drafted have made an impact in the NHL? Considering college careers take usually at least 3 years if not 4, it's pretty hard to draft a player in the amount of time Gillis has been here and have them go through college then make the team. But Schroeder was the first and he's in the NHL now, he just has to make more of an impact than he already has. Seems like another Mike Duco, maybe he'll have some good production at the AHL level though. He's bigger than Duco, and I think a little more of the power forward mould rather than an agitator like Duco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
