After two seasons suiting up for CSKA Moskva, 7th year defenseman John Gilmour(3) signs with rivals Dinamo Minsk for 2022/2023.
Originally a Calgary Flames‘ 7th round pick in the 2013 (#198 overall), he was never signed and picked up as a free agent and signed to an NHL entry level deal by New York Rangers upon graduating Providence College Friars.
He was an important part of the team, when they won the 2015 NCAA Division 1 Championship.
The 6′ 192 lbs. blue liner spent 3 years in the system, skating 33 big league games, pocketing 2 goals and 3 assists.
He would next sign with Buffalo Sabres on a one-way contract before leaving for the KHL.
At 29-years old, he likely still has a long way to go.
He scores basically the same exact totals for his new team as he did for his old and has decided to move on for something new, signing for 2023/2024 with Adler Mannheim.
We expect him to do very well in Germany’s top league, DEL.
