Oh boy here’s a new one. Letting the face of your franchise sign an offer sheet and get a bunch of mid-late round picks back just because you have an agenda against your favourite teams’ gm is the best way to try and win a Cup

@Pears "I have never seen a group of fans have such an unhealthy hate on for a general manager"
It helped get the previous GM fired (the "Fire Gillis" chants @ Rogers which got increasingly more vocal as that horrible last season went on had to have some impact on the owner).
Fan originated from the word Fanatic. You often don't see rational / logical thinking involved.

Gillis completely deserved the firing, so the fans chanting him to be fired wasn't really a surprise. A GM who basically can't draft/develop any of his players, aside from TWO of his first rounders, is perhaps a reflection of him overlooking other parts of his job.
I don't hate Gillis, but I feel the need to bring up his flaws because people seem to fondly remember the good old days, without remembering why he screwed this team with his draft selections/decisions, including the trading away of picks.
