Roy was a prime example of miscalculation at the executive level evaluating the team's abilities to win. Acquire a guy that is going to leave because the team can't even pay him for future organisational loss/weakness in a year where your team is going nowhere. Pahlsson also outlined the Gillis era perfectly.Give up talent and future to weaken the team going forward. Pahlsson plays five playoff games and retires. Roy plays four playoff games and gone with but one assist/ point for the Canucks in playoff hockey. Second rounder,prospect,two-fourth rounders and a prospect all leave the organisation in 'the process'.
The core has to have legitimate support or this team will stay as stale as 14 day old bread.Garrison and Stanton are not Ehrhoff and Salo. The team was successful at puck possession and defensive contributions on offense. That was Gillis' last rallying cry but the Aqua and Tootsie men had turned their backs on him.
The Bruins just won the President's trophy.It's up to management to provide younger pieces to adequately supplement the core. Having Burr,Hank,Dan and the youngest gun,Santo,all injured is what happened.
You are a little confused,Einstein. Jim Nill is entering his first season as General Manager of the Dallas Stars after being appointed to the position on April 29, 2013.....
Nice to see Dallas get in tonight-ten points over the Canucks. Here's to Jim Nill and the B.C. boys with B.C. ownership! The cross-dressing Hippy is now officially a clown.
Linden better lean on Pat Quinn -as in hire him in some capacity as a special advisor ASAP. Linden has a little to no clue and this is all PR face saving candy coating. Sure,he can make a go of it but he better get a mentor on the payroll as fast as he can.
