Yakey Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 It's tough sitting here today, reading through so many threads/status updates of people being crybabies. Mike Gillis is not a stupid man. He is business greasy. The kind of greasy that you would HATE if he didn't work for you. It is this greasiness that assures me that he will have the absolute best product on the ice come the fall, at any cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
:D Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 you couldn't have said it better, he's a pro hockey biz man, and I'm damn happy he's this team's GM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsidhu Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 i love garrison but i do think that 6 years is a lot to be held accountable for, wouldve liked 4 years instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonshinefe Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie Garrison left $ on table - was offered "Wideman money" elsewhere - but wanted to play for hometown VAN, which held firm on internal $ scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Karlsson Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 How physical is Garrison and how good defensively is he? All I know about him is he has a good shot.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canouver Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Given that experts were putting his salary at $5 million or over, this is a good deal. I'm most excited, though, because he is from BC and this probably means the world to him and he will give it his all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmployeeoftheMonth Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Sami is now making 3.5 and was the leading PP player on the team last year. Sami was also severely underpaid for years and probably had about enough. Garrison is a good start but hardly makes a parade route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baggasafri69 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 shoring up our blue line with guys like Garrison alone sure don't make for a parade, but in addition if we land Doan, I'm going to go ahead and say that's the last piece needed for sure!

Hedman Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Considering how much the cap has gone up, i wouldn't say that he's been overpaid. It's much because of the cap-raise that players like Rome get ridiculous amount of money. I'm not too sure about the length, but i'm happy we could upgrade our top4 d which was needed. Now i'm hoping we could sign another of the most wanted players, either a top 6 winger or another d-man. Not feeling too needy about that now though, considering we still have Luongo and the potential to trade him for either of those 2 categories.

Kesler's Nose Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Luongo for Versteeg and Theodore. EDIT: So many ex-panther players, it is getting kind of a little ridiculous.. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
