Gillis simply said they didn't because they thought Colorado would match. If Gillis knew about the waiver issue, he definitely would have brought it up to show how smart he is, he is that type of arrogant pompous ass.
All the GM's who are saying they knew are just lying.
The bigger idiot is Sherman, if he knew of this waiver issue, he should have made it public and known to all GM's which would have killed any chance of an offer sheet and thus saved the Avalanche a ton of money on this contract, and on subsequent contracts. If Feaster gets canned for this, so should Sherman, for all the money he's going to cost the Avalanche.
By the way, I'm not in Feaster's corner, I want him gone, but I think he did what every other GM would have done and its' unfair to hang this waiver thing on him. NO GM in the NHL knew about this.

Gillis doesnt believe in offer sheets unless its for a player like Weber for example, and even then he was hessitant because he knew Nashville would match anything he offered.
Vancouver has invested alot of money for their managment staff, they hired Gilman to be a capoligist and others to look at the CBA stuff.
He was a former agent so these waivers stuff isnt lost to him.
He was asked a simple question wether the Canucks offersheeted ROR, he answered the question.
Were you expecting him to explain the whole CBA stuff to the reporters?
Also, the it was confirmed that the Canucks didnt make an offer to ROR, so why are we getting dragged into this?
