Revisionist history: Linden was saying the same thing that Jim Rutherford is saying. Gillis was saying the same thing Jim Rutherford is saying. Guess it took a failed eight year experiment for Francesco Aquilini to realize he should have been listening to the smart guys in the room instead of the dumb one. 9 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Becuase it seems like he only wants people around who tell him what he wants to hear. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except that Gillis is the reason Benning had literally nothing to work with when he took over. I don’t like either but I’m just stating absolute facts. 1 4 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah right. He was advocating for a re-build after the 2012 playoff debacle vs. the Kings which Aquilini refused. He did what every GM with a team in their cup window does -- that's add parts using draft picks and prospects as trade currency. 6 2 4 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also handicapped the franchise with the Luongo trade where he was stupid enough to eat salary over a long term. Anyone who thinks that trade was acceptable is unfit for any hockey related position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t like either but I’m just stating absolute facts. What you're describing is the cycle that teams go from pretenders to contenders to pretenders. For sure Gillis did a poor job of scouring the market and acquiring young undrafted players (the way Rutherford was able to do with the Pens) and picking crap in the amateur draft (only win = Bo Horvat), but he mortgaged the future to give the Canucks a decent run of 2-3 years where the team had a legit shot at winning the cup. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many of the high draft picks were used to acquire something useful? Bottom line is Gillis proved himself to be grossly incompetent over his tenure here and the problems he caused are still evident. 1 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, I wish they would've rebuilt properly years ago, instead of trying to fast track playoffs. Canucks have almost no prospects because of it - and still no playoffs. I'm really glad JR is in charge and like he said, taking it step by step to get better. I'm patient if they're building a winner. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how come teams like Colorado are cup contenders year after year all the while having multiple top prospects in their system? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
