Minnesota trades up, gets physical center 

Post#1 » by dbenton » Sat Jun 23, 2007 1:19 am

The Minnesota Wild moved up to pick No. 16 and grabbed center Colton Gillies. Here is what ESPN.com said about him in their latest mock draft. He was projected to go No. 18 to Calgary.

GM Darryl Sutter played in an era when the crease was a war zone, and one of the toughest forwards of the time was Clark Gillies. Fast forward to this year's draft. Sutter knows the rules have changed, but teams need a physical presence. So expect the Flames to take Clark's nephew, Colton. Although there are varied opinions on the future of Colton Gillies as a player, we love his size and strength. If he becomes half as good as his uncle, the Flames will have hit the jackpot.
