    Default Mike Gillis.. Worst GM in hockey today?

    How do you go from basically having the world by the balls with your goalie situation in Roberto Luongo and Cory Schneider and somehow turn them into:

    Bo Horvat
    Jakob Markstrom
    Shawn Matthias

    AAAAND you keep paying 15% of Lou's contract to boot!


    Mike Gillis, you have earned my respect as the Worst GM in the NHL today.

    We can almost stop laughing at Edmonton and their situation and soon start laughing at Vancouvers.

    So painful.
    I'm petrified of what will happen with Kesler.

    Gotta wonder how bad the locker room is after this past year.

    i dont think hes the worst. he played the hand he was dealt. if you go under the assumption (its not an assumption lol) that ownership forced Gillis to sign Lu to that 12 year deal, this is the fallout. players on crazy long contracts simply dont get alot in return. it is unfortunate cory got moved, that one will probably be a franchise regret but bo, markstrom, and mattias can all have good careers in vancouver. given how little goalies get in return these days, im happy that we've finally moved on from the luongo saga in vancouver as it was clear his heart was not here anymore
    One day I will quit fantasy hockey, today is not that day.

    ya, when Vancouver breaks Edmonton's record of first round picks you can laugh.

    Gillis just traded a guy who most on this forum thought was untradeable.

    I really hope you guys don't think Gillis is a good GM? I'm not saying he's the worst but he's in the bottom third. I don't have as much a problem with this trade as the fact they traded Schneider, who's a GREAT goalie to keep Lou and now this. Gillis should not be a GM.

    Absolutely.
    Gillis is basically pulled a 'Tin Cup' here.
    He completely and utterly F*cked the situation over and over and then pulled off some sort of miraculous shot with the last ball in his bag. The fact is he still shot a 12 on the last hole.

    I'd be curious if Tort's benching of Luongo in favor of Lack was because they'd already decided to move Luongo if they possibly could.

    Well, if Gillis didn't like inheriting Nonis' team, he now has a chance to put his own fingerprints...coach and players...on it! As a lifetime NUCKS fan, I've not been a huge fan of his deals. What I do agree with is that this team needs some new DNA in a few places...and a lot of the "old guard" will have to go to make that happen.

    Honestly, what does this say about FLA's opinion of Markstrom?

    Quite a day with Luongo on move to FLA. Convinced this more related to fallout from non-start in Heritage than reason for the non-start.

    for what its worth.

    Getting rid of Lou's contract should be considered a miracle.
    Lou's got totally screwed for not being able to play in the Heritage game. (although personally i think those outdoor games are total joke)

    Question should be whether or not he's reached Milbury territory yet.
    Without me, it's only "aweso".

    THE WORST. Who else can take 2 franchise goalies, and in less than a year trade them both for Bo Horvat, Sean Mathias, and Markstrom. Oh yeah, and they still have to pay Lou a whole bunch of money to sit in the sun down in Florida. Thank you Gilles for making the life of an Oilers fan so much brighter in the last little while.....keep up the good work! Hopefully he trades Kesler for a pail of pucks before they finally boot his incompetent ass out the door.

    Getting rid of that contract? They are paying $800,000 a year. Not to mention the recapture penalties if Lu retires before the deal is up. Lu makes basically 3.5 Million in salary in the last three years (2019-20 to 2021-22). If he walks away on those years, the Canucks are stuck with dead cap space of $2.8 million for 3 years.
