Agency

A big and mobile defenseman who keeps his game simple and safe. Tom Gilbert is a good skater, who is reliable defensively and rarely is creating turnovers or icing the puck, by usually playing short and safe passes and not risking too much. Gilbert is not overly physical and could make better use of his good size. With his long reach and skating skills he has decent shutdown abilities. (by Rafik Soliman, December 2015)
