    Default Jon Gillies - Sell or Hold?

    For the team in my signature.

    After building for 3 years my team finally looks primed to compete this season. I've got Jon Gillies and am wondering if I should try to flip him for Sorokin or Markstrom. I might have to add a bit in either case. Opinions on Gillies seem mixed, with some seeing him as a future stud starting goalie and others doubting he'll be much more than a backup.

    In my position, would you be holding or looking to sell? Sorokin is an incredible talent but it'll be at least 2 more years until he comes over, if ever. Markstrom would give me the Vancouver handcuff but I'm not sure the talent is there for him to be more than a time-share guy at best.

    With Jones/Dell + Raanta, you are not so bad for goalies in a 14 team, start 2. Grubauer has sneaky upside too; if you are lucky he's a starter next year.

    I'm not solid on Gillies as a star starter, but also the first to admit I don't follow Calgary super closely. Given your depth, I'm much rather have Sorokin and swing for the fences.

    [As for acquiring Markstrom, I'm not exactly sure how that gives you a handcuff; you don't have Nilsson or Demko...so you lost me on that part.]

    EDIT: I don't know how I missed Demko on your farm. I like Markstrom more than Gillies, but still less than the home run swing on Sorokin!

    I'd be looking to sell. Not long ago, Markstrom was thought of just as highly as Gillies. You have Demko in your farm, so a tandem would be good. Sorokin is more highly regarded than Gillies ever was, I think, so that's good.

    I'm unsure which goalie I'd want, but I'm a little leery of the sheer number of goalies you have.
