Mis-handled horribly by Gillis in my opinion. He has to trade Schnieder or trade Lu for peanuts. He will be what 34 next season with 9 years left. A $64M cap and 9.3M tied up in goaltending Vancouver will be in a severe position of weakness. There will be no bidding war for that Luongo contract and goalies like Kipper, Bernier, Miller may be on the trade market not to mention Backstrom is a UFA. Van is likely going to try and add a top 6 forward by the deadline but I see a team in steady decline with an old core and shallow prospect pool. Kesler is broken and the Sedins have come back to earth after a couple of unreal seasons. Flames have more regulation wins and can pull within 4pts with a win on Monday
