Minnesota(AP)- August 3rd 2007
A couple of nights ago, the Minnesota Wild added a young, gritty, tenacious forward in Colton Gillies. The pick may be considered pre-mature, as there were better selections available at the number 11 slot, but Gillies is a Truszkowski type of player. GM Pete had these comments about the selection: "Colton is just like his dad, Clarke Gillies. Me, growing up an Isles fan, adore these type of players, and adored Clarke, who helped lead the Isles to the cup. We hope Colton has similar success in a Wild Jersey!"
You can meet Colton Gillies, GM Peter Truszkowski, and Marian Gaborik at the Park Mall this Sunday from 7 AM to 1 PM CT!
