Yeah, 5 straight division championships, 2 President's Trophies, game 7 of the SCF. Definitely one of the worst tenures of a GM in the last decade.
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. |
Booth is pure wasted cap space. Florida got 2 expiring contracts and the Canucks take on a 30-40 pt forward who is oft injured and makes $4.25 for another 2 seasons. Roy got you zero playoff wins and you have no 2nd round pick and a bottom 3 prospect pool.
That also brings up his other Florida trade where he sent a young skilled forward who has now scored 30 in a NHL season and a 1st round pick for a 6/7 dman who is a buyout/cap dump candidate
No matter who the GM was Hamhuis and Garisson were going to van. Gillis signed them both to long term deals. Hamhuis was a great signing Garisson I am not even close to sold on. He had one decent year at 27 years old and gets a 6 year deal?
Erhoff was his best trade no doubt about it but it was a mistake to let him walk. The Canucks pp has never really recovered. Hodgson is a legit top 2 C on most teams. Something the Canucks lacked for most of the year. Kassian still questionable if he is anything more than a bottom 6 goon
The Luongo contract and captaincy is one of the more laughable situations of the last 10 years in the NHL
Gillis gets credit for the 2 presidents trophies? Considering he inherited the coach and the core players you give him far too much credit. The Canucks are an old team with little to no prospect depth staring a lengthy rebuild in the face
