carlweezer Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 That is great if you could go back in time, however near the end of the season last year they started to decline. Remember the first round knock out in the playoffs? This year he's going all in with Derek Roy. How about Going all in with Iginla, morrow, etc, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck73_3 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Doubtful. Hiller, Miller, Nabakov, Bryzgalov (if bought out) and Smith are all viable short term solutions. For teams looking long-term, Elliot and Bernier are options. I don't think anyone's going to be wiling to take on that contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonz Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 he can be traded at the draft why do people not realize this and this was probably the plan all along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 And Luongo is better than all of those options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gross-Misconduct Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 LOL! Vancouver has a bunch of spoiled, entitled fans for a city who has won NOTHING! Gillis' resume -Canucks= most wins in the NHL over ANY other team the last 4 years -2 presidents trophy -has never missed the playoffs under his regime - Traded Patrick White for Ehrhoff - Signed numerous players to below value contracts!! wow!! Sedins, Kesler, Edler, Hamhuis, Higgins, Burrows. Schneider -1 Stanley Cup Final Appearance - Drafted great young players for the position and spot we were drafting from- Jensen-Gaunce-Corrado OMGZ Fire him now!!!!! lets re-hire Burke!!!! I gurantee the second we fire Mike Gillis there will be 10 teams waiting at his doorstep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshuaGuy Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Holy hell, get a grip people! We're having a sub par, shortened season. Our second line center has played all of 6 games. We lost our defensive specialist forever. We've been playing with a 1st line, 2-3rd lines, and a mix-n-match 4th the entire season. Our defense looks bad but I'm sure it's only because of the chaos up front and once our forward lines are finally settled, we'll see a marked improvement in overall team defense. And despite this sub par season, we're tied for the division lead. We have more points in the same amount of games as the defending Stanley Cup champs. I don't think it's as bad as some of you are making it out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshuaGuy Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Lets not forget the fact he gave out another NTC with Higgins. At this rate the entire TEAM is going to have NTC's on their new contracts and he won't be able to move anybody. What has Higgins done to deserve a NTC? It's getting pretty ridiculous.

Italia2006 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Considering the handling of the Luongo situation and probability that a very expensive buyout will be necessary, I think it's likely that Gillis will be fired this offseason. Honesly, I think anything short of a conference finals appearance will mean the end for MG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ice orca Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 From a hockey standpoint, maybe. However, professional hockey is a business. and when you force your owner to pay the kind of money that a Luongo buyout would cost, for no return, you should probably start working on your resume.
