Canucks GM - Gilles fired!

[eclipse1966]

best news I heard all day as they finally fired Gilles. Lots of rumours flying around including Trevor Linden taking over the position. Gilles inherited a good team and year by year managed to put it into the basement. Will be interesting to see what happens going forward.

Gilles had to go but it will be dark days for canuck fans for a long time.

Hopefully it's not a 23 years and counting rebuild for you guys like it is for us.

At last, the Oilers finally have a little more competition on the fairway.

hopefully Trevor can make some great improvements to this club. He is very well respected in the city and has done well as a business man as well. May the good times roll……………….. in the future

Well, at least the President ...........no mention of the GM position.

VANCOUVER — Trevor Linden spent seven seasons as captain of the Vancouver Canucks.
Now he’s getting the chance to lead the team’s front office.
Linden was named the team’s president of hockey operations on Wednesday, one day after general manager Mike Gillis was fired following the Canucks’ failure to make the playoffs.

 

[S.W.A.T.]

Im on the fence about this. However someone had to hang and might as well start from the top, not to mention if he didn't get canned and the Rangers win the cup how silly they would look with AV over there.
