Former NY Islanders 2023 draft pick signs contract with Toronto Maple Leafs affiliate
Briefly

Justin Gill, a promising prospect selected by the New York Islanders in the 2023 NHL Draft, had an impressive track record with both the Sherbrooke Phoenix and the Baie-Comeau Drakkar. Following a successful season in the QMJHL, Gill managed to score 22 points as a rookie in the ECHL. Despite his achievements, the Islanders opted not to sign him to an entry-level contract before the deadline, allowing him to sign with the Cincinnati Cyclones, where he is viewed as a key scoring asset.
"Having Justin on board early in the offseason is a great start to our summer and should definitely get the fans excited. He instantly provides our lineup as one of the top-scoring threats in the ECHL and at just 22 years old, he is still very much an NHL prospect."
"In his first full professional season, Gill impressed with 22 points (eight goals, 14 assists) in 23 games with the Railers. However, despite his success, the Islanders chose not to sign Gill to an entry-level contract before the June 1st deadline."
