He basically said Nucks have deviated from puck possession style they were designed to play.
Next year they will return to that. Anyone that does not like it can leave.
Referenced the doubts people had over Vigneault being able to change form the defensive style he was known for 7 years ago, and that he changed. Suggested that Tort's can change too, although the warning was clear if he doesn't.
To his credit, Torts went on TV a couple days later and said Gillis was right. Dump and chase style was necessitated by injuries, when players came back he held onto that approach too long.
