Just coming to realise just how atrocious MG's drafting was. Even taking into account that we were contenders during that time. So glad we have JB

@NewbieCanuckFan for sure it requires more than just drafting but drafting is such a huge part of it nowadays. Also MG wasn't particularly great at trading (Pahlsson, Roy), naming captains (Luongo), or signing contracts (12 years anyone?).

Pahlsson cost us just two 4th round picks. Gillis made alot of mistakes but that is far from the worst one. Luongo contract wasn't a bad one until the NHL decided to change the rules and make that change retroactive.
Gillis was rightly fired 4 seasons ago. Time to move on. New GM's coming in to a team generally come into some kind of a mess (else the previous guy wouldn't have gotten fired). That's just reality.
