Lancaster Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Why would he care about making the Canucks look bad after they trade him, when people make up rumours about you (as you're claiming Gillis did) do you just accept it or would you deny it?

Ilya Kovalchuk. Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Haha, agreed. We obviously don't know the whole story, but the fact that Gillis made a fast reaction to Hodgson's "ice-time" request (NOT TRADE), shows his lack of experience as an NHL general manager. Was he a locker-room cancer? Highly doubt it. Kid was always known for character and leadership. Look at this tweet. Bieksa, one of the leaders and most vocal player on the Canucks seemed to have no problems with Hodgson. Gillis, you let a 22 year old rookie call the shots? What should of happened: CH: I think I deserve more ice-time, given my play. MG: Hey kid, you're going to have to earn your ice-time! Even though... you completely deserve it... But you're staying here and that's final! CH: I didn't ask to be traded... I just felt I deserved more playing time. Major props to Hodgson for not humiliating the franchise when being asked if he wanted out. I bet he didn't ask for a trade. Gillis has done some mismanagement with Hodgson and now we are seeing with Luongo. Luongo: “I was never approached with a trade somewhere else and I said no. If that would have happened, I would have said yes. There were some teams that were interested but nothing ever really materialized to that point where I had to give a decision whether I was going to waive or not.” Gillis: “He has a no trade clause, which creates complications like every player that has one. Roberto’s been part of this process. . .We know some of his desires and what he would like to have happen and we’re trying to accommodate them.” When he was asked whether there was ever a trade on the table where Luongo might have had to exercise his no trade clause, Gillis replied, “There have been discussions in the past, yes.” Hmm....

Monty Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 At the end of the day, should Kassian turn into a 40-50 point player, the Canucks made the right trade. They needed a big body that can throw some punches, intimidate opponents, chip in some points, and be a good teammate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ice orca Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 A collective implosion by the team - it's a thing you can't pin solely on one player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avelanch Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 No but with his junior pedigree and next captain material that a lot of people on this board still spout maybe it's time he took the bull by the horns. Jonathon Toews did it with the Hawks and you can see it in Taylor Hall on the Coil. Does anybody see that in Hodgson..it's his time to shine and I don't know if he has that kind of drive.

TOMapleLaughs Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Hodgson played just 10mins and finished -2 during Ott's visor-lickin' game against Mtl. Vanek played just 14mins and also finished -2. The Sabres have packed it in entirely. And Ott wonders why the fans boo them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
