Who would you have replace him?


Also, how does everybody in here feel now? Sigh of relief, or nervous about what's next?

Canucks fire Mike Gillis as GM, but they are waiting for instructions from fan chants during their next home game as to who they will hire.

I'm not convinced the Aquillinis have had such an extreme grip on this team's dealings that many are making out, but if the owners really do think they know hockey and insist on making the key decisions themselves then there's really not much we can discuss here. Just tune out, don't buy tickets or merchandise, and hope for new ownership to arrive in the future.

He showed up at Luongos home, he sat in on the Torts interview, he nixed deals. That is one (frank)en active owner.

We need a proper structure regarding management here, unless that happens this won't get any better.

Chariman/Owner
President
GM

He'll drive guys outta town for sure, but I'm not convinced he'll be around next year.

Agreed. The problem is that the only positions currently filled (Owner and Coach) already need to be replaced.

Presumptuous to think there will be fans at their next home game.

Ferraro is convinced Linden is the President tomorrow, he's pretty tight with Washington GM George McPhee. (Linden)

It sort of makes sense. Fire Gillis first because of their history.otherwise do it the way CGY did it , bring in pres and shortly after fire GM

I hope the firing of Gillis is not an indication Torts is in control of this team. I really don't have any desire to watch a boring dump and chase team that collapses to the net.

Seeing it on the PP shows how far this team has fallen.

McPhee wouldn't be worst choice. He wouldn't be the best either.
