Profile Contributed By: HF Staff
History
2007-08: The Quebec native entered his rookie season in the QMJHL with the Quebec Remparts. The center tallied four points (7g+7a) in 28 games and netted an additional playoff goal in 11 postseason appearances.
2008-09: In his second year with the Remparts, Gilbert improved upon his numbers greatly. He more than triple last season’s output, racking up 11 goals and 32 assists in 67 games.
2009-10: Gilbert opened the season in a bottom six role with the Quebec Remparts, where he appeared in 31 games and scored 6 goals, 12 assists for 18 points. A midseason trade sent him to Acadie-Bathurst Titan where he could play a larger role offensively. In 31 games after the trade, the center scored 18 goals, 12 assists for 30 points. He added 5 goals, 2 assists for 7 points in 5 playoff games for the Titan. Gilbert appeared in 1 regular season game with Rockford and had 1 assist.
2010-11: Gilbert scored 28 goals and 23 assists for 51 points in 52 games with the QMJHL's Acadie-Bathurst Titan. He added 2 goals and 1 assist in 4 playoff games before joining the AHL's Rockford IceHogs on an ATO, scoring 2 goals and 1 assist in 5 AHL games.
Talent Analysis
Still growing into his body at 6'1 and 184 pounds, Gilbert's main assets are his vision and his hands. Able to skate up the ice with the puck on a string, he's equally adept at making a play as he is at scoring the goal himself. Gilbert still needs plenty of time to round out the rest of his game and would benefit greatly from becoming both stronger and faster. Questions abound about his work ethic as well.
Future
Gilbert signed an entry-level contract with Chicago and is expected to open his pro career with Rockford in the AHL for the 2011-12 season.
