I talked with GM Doug Risebrough this evening and he confirmed Colton Gillies is staying with the club rather than be sent to Team Canada for the World Junior Tournament.
Gillies, who played in the tournament last year, earlier today said he would be honored had he again been in the tournament. “This is the last year I would be able to do it and it’s always nice to represent your country,” he said.
But?
“My first thing is - this [the Wild] is my team now. This is my future, my everything. They’re first in my life and whatever they want me to do I’ll do. If they need me here, I’m here.
“We do have a lot of games coming up; you never know what happens to players and stuff, so. We’ll have to see.”
Risebrough said he has been pleased with Gillies’ practices and development.
---------------------------------------------
everytime it feels like there's a little bit of hope it gets squashed, this isn't official, but he's not coming back.
