oldnews Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Lemieux "Going to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals is a euphemism for "you are the last loser standing." continuing to post not-good-enough sentiments in this thread is either a euphemism for "projecting feelings of inadequacy" or "what have you done to deserve a championship team?"

Pouria Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 This guy is grossly overrated. He has come up with bad contracts after bad contracts. Overpaying Ballard, Booth, Sundin (thank goodness he did not take the 2-year $20mil contract), Demitra (RIP), and Luongo. These are good players, but definitely not at the salary that they are making. Now they are really stuck with Luongo, an older goalie with more and more mileage. This guy was overused in Florida, and you just don't see him playing at the same level 2 or 3 years down the road. This situation has caused the whole Schneider thing. Schneider looks like a young solid number one that could carry the Canucks into the next decade. He has solid moves, unlike the Sieve Cloutier. He's a calming presence. Because of the no-trade clause to Luongo, Schneider has to be moved. People defend Gillis and say that he had got the Canucks into the finals. The main pieces, i.e. Kesler, Sedins, Edler, Bieksa, Salo, Burrows were all pieces from the past regimes. The only guy that Gillis could truly claim to be a valuable asset was ehrhoff. Gillis is really sacrifing the future of the team for immediate gains. It's really sad to see. Gillis is so overrated that the Canucks made the SCF last year. OMG, SOOO overrated. If you can do a better job than him, then by all means, send your resume to Aqualini's office. Am sure he will look at this thread and hire you in a New York minute. All GMs make mistakes or have a bad signing, no GM is perfect because they can't see the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pouria Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Please do not insult the intellectually challenged people in our society by calling them members of this forum . This board is becoming stupid for not having a negative button. Either implement a proper +/- rating system or don't do it at all. Now we have idiots on our boards making dumb threads and ending up with a +20 on their stupid post. It makes CDC members look like jackasses.

Pierre's Personal Bubble Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 What season did the sedins and kesler have their superstar breakouts. Oh yeah, the one after they got Sundin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkpoet Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 If you're going to slam Gillis you should leave his decision to sign Sundin out of it. You don't remember what the fans of this team were all screaming bloody murder for at the time? A BIG HULKING CENTER Sundin is 6'5 230 lbs of all-star centerman. You asked, Gillis delivered. The only problem was that Sundin hadn't played hockey in quite some time.. something like 9 months, by the time he joined the Canucks. Gillis knew this but also realised the intangibles that a superstar centerman would bring to a team with a number of potential stars still finding their wings, most notably - KESLER The affect Sundin had on Kesler cannot be understated, and Kesler alluded to this himself after Sundins departure. Despite all that, Sundin still had what.. 30 points in 40 games? Add to that 8 points in 8 playoff games and was a beast. /rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemieux Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Now we can add the atrocious Hodgson deal to the mix. What Kassian is, he should not be worth a potential Calder candidate. Absolute larceny to the max!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillis should have paid Burrows what he was worth with some of the cash,instead of hosing him. What a joke.9 goals for $5 million for a player that came in out of shape and made it publicly known he wanted to play in New York with the Rangers. What a great display of leadership.

The Situation Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Its not the cap hit on Luongo's contract that is the problem. Its the ridiculous length. Even Luongo has come out to say that its a bad contract. I am surprised that even at this point, people are still defending Gillis' decision to offer that ridiculous contract.

Salmonberries Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I'd say having Kassian, Horvat and Corrado (so far) to show for six drafts is relevant today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
