Max Gildon

April 2020 – The big left-shot, defenseman can play both sides of the ice and shows flashes of offensive dominance. If Gildon is sent to AHL Springfield to start the 2020-21 season, I doubt it’d be for very long. He could develop into a valuable fantasy option. Keith Fries

December 2018 – Gildon didn’t get invited to USA’s World Junior Championship camp. This was his last year of eligibility for the tournament, and it is a bit surprising he didn’t get invited because he’s having another strong season at NCAA.  Jokke Nevalainen

November 2018 – Gildon has had a great start to his NCAA season as he’s scored ten points in ten games. Quinn Hughes will be the top dog for the Americans at the World Juniors but Gildon should be one of the players getting an opportunity to play second fiddle behind him.  Jokke Nevalainen

April 2018 – Gildon finished his first college season with 23 points in 36 games which was sixth best among rookie defensemen in the NCAA. Gildon will most likely stay in college for another season but could be ready to turn pro after that. Jokke Nevalainen

December 2017 – Max Gildon is an offense-minded defenseman who is having a very strong start to his NCAA career with seven goals and 15 points in 17 games playing at the University of New Hampshire. Gildon’s skating and offensive tools are at a good level already, and he has ideal size for a modern defenseman. If he can improve his defensive game and decision-making, he could become a point-producing top-four defenseman at the NHL level. Jokke Nevalainen
