Salmon Arm Canuck Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Most revealing comment from Gillis was on Malhothra following Simpson's question saying bluntly he will NOT trade Manny, even if he requests one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryndogcanuck Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 He also confirmed that the Canucks organization knew that Ryan O'Reilly was subject to waivers if he signed an Offer Sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckfan85 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 if he actually had a trade he was happy with for Luongo, then taking back some cap would actually be a no brainer. Like if Florida offered Weiss, Petrovic, 2013 1st, as long as you take upshall, Gillis would be an idiot not to take that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCammer Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Calm and level-headed. This is why he is a great GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DLC- Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 what do yo mean "by where he is?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCammer Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 what do yo mean "by where he is?" you mean a GM? well look at Mike Milbury... Craig Patrick... MG already showed he is capable of making stupid moves...Coho trade. or do you mean only smart people get good jobs and selecting someone for a job is only about how intelligent they are...look at George Bush Jr... so what are you talking about??? Gillis also just called Feaster a great GM- anyone who does that loses credibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seguin Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 To hear that Manny will never play another game for the canucks though.... (IIRC, that's what he said) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithers joe Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 i thought the most interesting thing he mentioned was how canuck fans are the most never satisfied with their team...always wanting players traded, people fired....i agree with him...there always has to be a whipping boy...i root for everyone on this team...i can be critical of play without throwing people under the bus....i can't understand some people. are we as people perfect at all times?

billabong Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Watta juicy interview...he actually gave us some solid answers - sucks to be manny right now - I would love to know what he is specifically referring to when he's talking about luongo - I wish they talked about Ballards situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apples Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I wouldn't be surprised if Manny asked for a trade. He still wants to play in the NHL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cupbearer Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Gillis is a steady, thoughtful person. If he adhered to the many suggestions posted on CDC, most of this team would be traded for plugs, fired, or sent to languish in the minors. I'm glad to hear him taking the long view. 5 years, 2 President's Trophies, 4 NW division Titles, 4 playoff appearances (won 5 series, lost 4), Got to SCF game 7. Gillis is right, we have a lot to be happy about as fans. He is icing a competitive, entertaining, and talented team every year. As a footnote, I wasn't a fan of the Hodgson trade, but the jury is still out on that one. I don't think it's akin to the Cam Neeley trade in scope and caliber though. But I can live with not liking every move MG makes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NP-4815162342 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 If he doesn't get trade then manny will sign somewhere else in free agency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spliced Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Gillis says he would be happy as a fan with the success the team has had in the last 5 years. Well Gillis that works both ways, lots of people would love to be a GM of a team that can spend to the cap and gets tremendous support. Gillis whines he's so hard done by dealing with the media and the fans whine about the performance of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
