Ricciuti1 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Been a die-hard Canucks fan for as long as I remember. I rarely post on this board. And I know a lot of us are frustrated with this teams effort as of late. But it's really been like this all year. Our team is lacking more then we think. We are no longer an elite team, but now considered a top 10-12 team in the NHL (in my opinion). Mike Gillis has done nothing great for this team. Usually I am one to defend players or anything associated with Canucks, but I think Gillis is a classless person as well. The Aquilini family need to realize that the fans (the one's who are paying the big bucks) do not want him here anymore! It's pretty embarrassing that at the Pavel Bure night back in November that the fans of Vancouver boo'ed Mike Gillis when he was announced to say something for Bure. Hire Gilman and fire Gillis!

Jack Fig Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 If this is a petition, I'm signing. But I don't want Gilman either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimerez Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Honestly, the Canucks have been doing BETTER because of Gillis. Look at Santorelli, Stanton and Richardson. All producing at a good rate, and cheap as well.. Look at our new backup, Lack. 8-6-3, Signed for another 2 years after this at 1.5 million each. I would have to say, that Gillis is doing his job fine. Maybe it isnt Gillis's fault that we cant score a damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronalds.Kenins41 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 You know how stupid that is. If he was fired today who would we hire? Feaster? Regier? Gimme a break we aren't going to get any better with those two. If burke was available and he agreed not to over saturate us with tough guys I take him but otherwise everyone is worse.

ForsbergTheGreat Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Is it gillis' fault the twins aren't producing? We have all the keys we just need to the players to play at what their value is. Right now it isn't happening. December it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5nothincanucksohno Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 It does seem like none of the other GMs want to deal with him. Not really his fault but management does need to start getting creative (when trying to organize deals). This was never the year anyways after the lock out season. Prospects, cap, etc is all set up to make a push next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueberries Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Gillis better make a trade within a week, or i want him out. We are supposed to be competing for the cup and we have sucked all year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShakyWalton Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I want him out so bad I can taste it,,he has sat on his hands and stole a salary all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sr Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 What do you want the GM to do about team effort? That responsibility should fall on the players and, to a certain extent, the coaches. I agree that this team needs a change, but maybe the asking prices are too high at the moment. I wouldn't want Gillis to trade away our prospects for a rental player.

Bieksallent_Canuck Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 To everyone saying fire Gillis...what do you want him to do??? Overpay using Horvat/Shinkaruk because we'll be stuck in this same situation a bit down the road. Plus it takes two to tango and its been mentioned numerous times already, with how tight the standing's are, nobody wants to trade unless it a severe overpayment. I want something to be done too, but you think Gillis isn't trying. There are so many things that go into making a trade, and most good ones take time. So everyone chill and have some perspective!!!

Wizard Noheart Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Mike Gillis or any GM in the league can't make these guys give a **** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RU SERIOUS Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I agree. MG has overstayed his welcome. I fail to understand some of these comments praising MG for picking up some plumber or two for the cheap. Any monkey can do that. We have not had a prominent player join this team since MG arrived. Period. All he's done is hand out 5 and 6 year contracts (complete with complimentary no-trade clauses) out to the old players of the past. Not one single quality trade or rejuvenation effort. He'\s created a soft "club-med" environment here in Vancouver complete with Yoga instructors, phycics and tarot card readers. Time pt go Mike! We've heard enough excuses to last a lifetime.

Coconuts Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Gillis can't get out there with the team and score goals. Yes, we need pieces.. but I'm sure he's trying to get them. Making trades isn't as easy as some think. The same team was playing well in December, these efforts fall on the shoulders of the players and coaching staff. But yes, Gillis does need to try and find a way to spark this group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honky Cat Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 This is a transition year.....we've had quite a few years as an elite team....so it's going to be a real bumpy ride this season...If you cant hack it,I would suggest not watching and come back next year.
