"...and we would still have the opportunity to have handled our goaltending situation properly (ie. Still have Luongo and Schneider to deal with in the hopes of getting more back in return)..." You missed my whole quote there. I'm not saying we would have kept them both. I'm saying we could have gotten more in return from another GM whom may not have mismanaged the riches in net so badly.

Gillis was a cancer. I've never been so happy someone was fired. Too bad it came a year too late. Otherwise we would still have AV as coach (who was never the problem), and we would still have the opportunity to have handled our goaltending situation properly (ie. Still have Luongo and Schneider to deal with in the hopes of getting more back in return)... That being said, that's not what happened and here we are... On a related note I'm so stoked to have Trevor Linden signed on as our new President! If anybody can turn this team back around into something we can all be proud of it's Linden! The future is bright! Go Canucks Go!

I couldn't agree more. This team has needed a new direction and a fresh perspective for a long time. I was extremely excited to hear that Linden was announced as President. Now if he can bring in Benning as GM and the 2 of them can find a new coach that plays a style of game that is conducive to winning in a way that isn't like watching paint dry, then we will have a lot to look forward to in Vancouver in the years to come.
