Yep. Lets not forget that Gillis was an out of the box hire in the first place. The fact that he crashed and burned after being handed one of the best rosters in the NHL kind of shows why he was out of the box in the first place.
If I'm a Canucks fan I don't feel a lot better knowing the organization may go the Oilers route of reaching back to past glory to manage the team. However as much as we hate to see it probably a positive day for the organization going forward.
