And what has been the net effect of that? Booth cost nothing, Roy cost a late 2nd. Hodgson for Kassian can hardly be decided after a shortened season.

The Canucks also got Ehrhoff and Higgins for basically nothing and were able to acquire 2 of their top 3 defensemen without giving up a single asset.
Gillis inherited a more talented team and made it worse, signed Loungo to a brutal contract. Has gotten no where near the cup since their run, and the president's cup means very little, its why players don't parade it around the ice.

He's now saddled with an aging team with no real depth, a brutal goaltending contract that he's more then likely going to have to eat. Terrible drafting and talent evaluation

Your saying a lot of things that we said when the Flames started to sink under Sutter.

I think the Canucks are going to be in very tough under the new divisional alignment. A lot of their success was based around being in what could be classed as a brutal division.
