Drybone Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 When does the league rule on the validity of the Weber offer sheet/contract? Is it before or after Nashville decides whether or not to match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanGnome Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 How did do all he could? He didn't put out and offer sheet did he? So he didn't all he had the power to do. To say Nashville would automatically match is backing out...what if they didn't? He have arguably the best D-Man in the league on his team and poised to challege for the cup. It's like saying your not going to ask out Minka Kelly because you know she'll say no? What if by chance she said yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 The guy hasn't even played a game yet and you already know how the team is going to perform next season? Typical armchair cynic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoreline74 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Gillis went hard after Weber from July 1st on. Had a 3hr meeting with him in Kelowna, and discussed everything possible. That's all you can ask from your GM, proud fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanGnome Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Salo put up 25 points in 69 games last season and was arguably one of our most consistent D-men. To think that Garrison is going to be that much better than him is unrealistic. Common sense would tell you that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_Canuck Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I'm not the biggest gillis fan, but I think he came across a lot better today on the radio then his usual cocky, arrogant self. He was pretty open about all his answers. I hope this is a sign of change for him to just chill out sometimes n have some fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanGnome Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Just stating facts buddy, and I'm not the only one on here that felt the same way. Salo was a rock for us. Too bad people like you don't give him enough respect though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drybone Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 You want facts? Here are the "Facts" Salo is at present 37 years old and has almost every conceivable injury a player could likely receive in his career, you have to wonder how much tread was left on the tires. At the two year term he wanted there was too much risk for a team such as the Canucks who are always spending to cap, not to mention Salo's point production while hasn't been on decline has at least been hampered by the fact he only plays 73% (roughly) on average of every season. Here is a handy illustration to prove my point: Garrison is at present 27 years old, 10 years younger and just had a break out season. It's been proven that defencemen always take longer to mature into impact players and he is just hitting his stride, not to mention his offensive production is trending upwards. I am perfectly happy with Garrison @ 4.6 x 6 if he can level off point production in the low 40's, and provides the physical two way play he is known for and has a more consistent presence on the roster.

WHL rocks Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 If Gillis offers something even close to what Philly offered, Weber signs it and could potentially be a Canuck in 3 days. What makes you assume Philly was his first choice? He went there because they offered him the most money. Sure Nashville might match, but there's also a chance they don't I just don't like how he has to publicly explain himself like this. Like when he threw Hodgson under the bus at the end of the season. Some things just don't need to be said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeystar Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 ya i love how gillis is still under the illusion that luongo will play here... Gillis is full of it.... we all know dam well that luongo basically told everyone that he wanted to be traded and who the hell would want a goalie here that doesn't want to be here.... just a little political response from gillis... I really don't like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monteeun Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I should note that I'm not claiming ownership of that image, it was left unaltered from the original source. It was found using google image search, I had seen it in a previous post though quite a while ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monteeun Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Nice diagram. Sorry you had to waste your time with that. It still has nothing to do with last season, which was the only season I was talking about. Thanks for coming out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedinry Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Gillis needs to get Doan, If not though, than Versteeg + a few other players from Florida for Luongo will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
