J529 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Heard this mentioned on 1040 a few days ago. This was one of the moves that led to Nonis getting fired. Nonis wanted to acquire Richards when he left Tampa Bay. In hindsight, it was probably good he didn't get him as the price to acquire him would have been alot, not to mention how much it would have cost to sign him.

DeNiro Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Nonis ultimately made the right call. If he had made that trade, the team would have never had the success it has had. Unfortunately for him, it cost him his job cause he didn't do enough to get the team into the playoffs. We have Nonis to thank for alot of good moves too though.

shazzam Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I think the rumor was that ownership wanted Nonis to acquire Richards but he refused because they wanted Kesler, Edler and Schneider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canucks#01fan Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Nonis acquired Luongo Burke made the big draft day trade so he could draft both Sedins Those were the biggest moves they did. What's Gillis biggest move he's done in his tenture? Signing Sundin? Compared to Burke and Nonis, Gillis has been a complete and utter joke.

J529 Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 Actually, another move Nonis wanted to make was Schneider straight up for Gilbert Brule. Good thing that never happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
