Does Gillis have no access to the sleep doctor? He always looks horrible.

Exactly. The only team that has worse asset management then the Canucks

Although I have high hopes for last years draft, in six years of drafting we currently have ZERO regulars from Mike Gillis. Yes we do have Tanev, but I'm referring to drafting.

Vintage, are you not buying the Aqulini rumours?

As Iggy posted in the last thread. Bob Murray of the Ducks sounds pretty pissed, apparently Gillis and him had a potential deal worked out during crunch time which once again Mr.Wonderful nixed. There goes one more team that will likely not be doing business with the Canucks again for awhile and potentially one less team for Kesler. At this point all I can do is...

What was said deal?

Not sure, haven't seen anything official. But you could tell that Murray as pissed from his comments/presser so I believe it.

Anyone else picturing managent pitching last second TDL offers to ownership from the golf course while the Aquilinis gather around a computer scrambling to read prospect bios on hockeysfuture? I'm convinced thats how it went down.

Schroeder?

Hodgson, too. Although he was traded. The return for him is also a regular on this team.

Corrado has also played considerable spot duty.

If not for the depth in previous years, it's safe to say a few others would have gotten a call for stretches.

I don't believe rumors/innuendo......I'm not a 13 year old girl so all this BS about Kesler sleeping with a teammates wife, the Aquilinis nixing deals etc holds zero water with me......

All I know is that Gillis, who I've supported throughout his tenure, has laid nothing but eggs in the recent past. I hate to finally admit it but his track record has not been great. I have no confidence in him making decisions for this team.

In fact, given his track record in trades, if I was the offer GM's, I would never make him a decent offer because either A) he'll take it or B) he'll sit on his asking price until the asset has depreciated to poop....

Having said that, its time to replace MG.....

I think if you want to convince the Aquilinis, just add a vowel to the end of any players name.

Hey Nucker, got a question for you from the Avs Blog regarding meddling owners:

"Would you rather want the Canucks to blow it up and start from scratch by moving Kelser, Edler and build a new culture? OR just try and reshuffle the deck and try and keep this thing going?'

Why would you ask nucker? Ask the more mature posters here such as Scooby-doo.

Scooby just wants Kunitz for Kesler so he has someone new to hate, thats what I assume anyways

On the Hawks thread JJ is saying a possible deal is in place for the summer..Kesler for Leddy , Shaw and TT, what do you think?

You fellas need to take a road trip to the Islanders thread.

You'll feel better.

It doesn't matter what we think, you will have to ask Aquilini. I'm sure he would go for it if you made it Leddio, Shawzzini and TiTo.
