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 I. The league 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

Gillis will probably bring back the V jersey's to distract the fan base with something shiny.
That way when they go into their rebuild and become awful the fans will look at those terrible jersey's and mutter. "Its happened before it will happen again"
