oldnews Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 It's funny because a lot of people consider a future 1C to be the last piece the team needs to add to the 'rebuild'. I think he may have been the first, when Gillis shifted towards the future on the draft floor in 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck_Fan_52 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Nice story on Bo. Looks like we have an indication as to who will Captain this team once Henrik retires. Good move by management when it came to trading Schneider for the number 9 pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too slow and his skills were already deteriorating a few years into his career. The one thing that rookies always comment on is the speed of an NHL game when they come into the league. Cody couldn't keep up with everybody else and once the rest of his skill started heading south, his only real option was the AHL. He ended up leaving the game rather than continue playing in the minor league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No amount of struggling in the AHL can fix that. Luckily for him he has banked enough of Pegula's money to live a pretty damn comfortable life.

Who would have expected the kid who topped everyone including Tavares in that WJC would be out of the NHL before he is supposed to hit his prime. But hey, Schroeder even topped JVR in that tourney so there ya go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a good move that Gillis realized early what was going on, but unfortunately for him and the Canucks, he ended up trading him for another useless player.

You are out of your mind if you think he was a bad GM. Conference Finals 3 times, Stanley Cup Finals once, no cup but honestly how many times have the Canucks made it to the Conference Finals in the past 15 years? Let me tell you, the Canucks have only made it to or past the conference finals 3 times since they came into the league. Plus we all know that Brett Hull goal was bull. He also had to GM Buffalo through a bunch of tight wad owners for most of his tenure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
