Canucksbiggestfan Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 He's huge, but he's not physical. Did you watch the Canucks when he was on this team? He doesn't hit a lot, he rarely fights (when he does, he gets worked), and he's about as slow as they get Allen is a giant oaf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedman Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 That's a great deal right there.. and a great player off the market. This guy blocks a hell lot of shots. Even if i like some things Gillis have done, you really start to question his work when you see a deal like this, and you lose a guy like Salo.

Mighty Walrus Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Lol.... We lost more depth on defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABurrows14 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 You people do realize we only have 10 million in cap space, and 8+ million of that is going to Weber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 All this hate on MG is unbelievable. Most of these signings will be regretted by their respective teams by the end of the year. PPL are being overpaid today. Some times the best move is the one you didn't make. Parise and Suter are not coming here any ways. They will sign in the US. Garrison is not going to take millions less to play for a team in his home province. I know some kids on these boards think money doesn't matter blah blah blah. I'm sorry to tell you guy this but that's not how real life works. Money talks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bongo4420 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Allen is exactly what the Canucks need. I'm not a big Gillis fan to begin with but this offseason is looking far worse than I could even imagine. As usual he's all talk no action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darius Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 What if he signs Suter and Parise? Would it be a big fail then? Or do you like Allen signing more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I thought Allen would work if Van had signed Schultz or Salo but a Tanev spared off by Salo doesn't fly. If in fact MG thought he had Schultz then I think we would have seen a reaction today. Van's biggest needs are a top 6 LW and a right side top 4 dman. I have to believe that is what MG is focussed on whether that happens in FA or through a Lou deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewSedinTwin Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 You let Salo and Rome go, then miss your chance at Allen?! Gillis, you better sign both Parise and Suter! haha, at least Garrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 As good as Garrison is, we needed this guy too with Salo's loss. Now we have no experienced, veteran defenceman and our top-4 is lead by 4 guys in their prime who have been known to panic in the pressure situations. Oh boy, MG better find us a #4/#5 defenceman who has 500+ games experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
