G.K. Chesterton Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 With Mike Gillis getting fired, what is the situation on our two assistant GMs? Have they been let go as well or are they still part of the organization? They are both Gillis hires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aGENT Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 According to twitter they, so far, have been retained. Farhan Lalji @FarhanLaljiTSN 1h Agreed. We'll see if the new prez sees it that way RT @imacVanSun: Smart decision by Aquilinis to retain Gillis assistants Gilman & Henning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armada Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Gillman has done a fantastic job in his position imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaches Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 IMO keep Gilman for sure. I wouldn't even be completely against him being our full time GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Gillman has done a fantastic job in his position imo. Isn't he our resident capologist? Hasn't he been in charge of negotiating most of the contracts? Aren't people slamming Gillis for having too many NTC/NMCs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonMexico Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Isn't he our resident capologist? Hasn't he been in charge of negotiating most of the contracts? Aren't people slamming Gillis for having too many NTC/NMCs? Exactly. He was Gillis' right hand man. How any one can measure his performance above Gillis' performance is impossible. Anyone who thinks that is just fuelling the Gillis hate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missioncanucksfan Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Dont blame Gilman for this Sure he is the guy that draws up the contracts but numbnuts was the one who ultimately signs off on it. Surely Gilman works hand n hand with the new guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 While I do get the practice of talking about Gillis to mean the overall management and Torts/AV to mean the overall coaching staff to make things easier, when people want to separate them but ignore all the points they made when referencing 'Gillis/Torts/AV' for another member of that same group then it's an issue.

YEGCanuck Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 One of the talking heads on a TV sports show suggested Tambellini would make a good GM. He is one of last people I would consider for the job. He is one of the reasons the Oilers are in the shape they are in today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOMapleLaughs Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Tambellini would make a good fit for the Canucks' Italian Mafia though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboose Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Paul Fenton or bust. Now in his 16th season with the Predators, and his eighth as the club’s assistant general manager, Paul Fenton has been instrumental in bringing in many of Nashville’s core players, primarily through the draft, but also through trades and free agent signings.After serving as the director of player personnel for the Predators’ first eight seasons, Fenton was promoted to assistant general man¬ager on June 5, 2006, where he oversees the Predators’ amateur player development, manages the team’s professional and amateur scouting staff and advises President of Hockey Operations/General Manager David Poile on player personnel decisions. He has assisted in player acquisitions since joining the Predators and managed the club’s Entry Draft efforts from 2003 (when the team selected Ryan Suter, Shea Weber, Kevin Klein and Alexander Sulzer) until 2008 when he passed the torch to Chief Amateur Scout Jeff Kealty.In 2012-13, the Predators used 17 players drafted and developed by the team – which included 10 of the team’s top 12 point getters – and five more who were acquired by Nashville before making their NHL debut, meaning 22 of 34 players used by the Predators in each of the last two seasons have been “homegrown.”Fenton also serves as general manager of the Predators’ primary developmental affiliate, the Milwaukee Admirals of the American Hockey League, who made their AHL-record 11th consecutive playoff appearance in 2013 despite seeing 11 of their top players recalled to Nashville during various points of the season. The Admirals extended their playoff streak thanks to a 15-4-1 record in their final 20 games. Milwaukee has won four division titles in the past 10 sea¬sons, and became the first team in AHL history to post 40-or-more wins and 90-or-more points in eight consecutive seasons from 2002-03 to 2010-11. He also served as Associate GM for Team USA at the 2011 World Championships.Fenton joined the Predators after spending five seasons in the Anaheim Ducks’ hockey operations department. He served as a scout during his first three seasons with the Ducks and as the chief professional scout the last two years. A number of players drafted during Fenton’s run with the Ducks – such as Paul Kariya, Steve Rucchin, Ruslan Salei and Mike LeClerc – led Anaheim to the 2003 Stanley Cup Finals. The Springfield, Mass., native also helped facilitate one of the Anaheim franchise’s largest trades, the February 1996 acquisition of Teemu Selanne. http://predators.nhl.com/club/page.htm?id=36986 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendan Gaunce Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Yes Gilman is a very likeable guy but why does everyone act like they know what he did vs Gillis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLemming Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 So what exactly did Gilman do that Gillis didnt? How were they different? I also really like Gilman, but just curious to what separates him from taking the blame with Gillis other than his title (and the blame game).

VanNuck Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Gilman's a good numbers guy, but I don't see him having the overall oversight to run an entire team. He's an ideal assistant GM. Hire a hokeybrain who knows team-building, keep Gilman as the assistant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck'nAnimal Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Scotty Bowman or bust Leave poor Scotty be. He'd have an absolute aneurysm if he ended up having to GM this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
