Okay so I know all Canuck fans know that former GM Dave Nonis was fired by owner Francesco Aquilini last year. And we all know this year's team was formed by Nonis and Brian Burke. Nonis brought in players like Kesler, Burrows, Pyatt and of course the most legendary trade in NHL history for Roberto Luongo.Burke also brought in players like the Sedin twins so basically the team was made by the two of them. What I don't get is how new GM Mike Gillis is trying to take the credit for it. He was given the team with a fuck load full of money and no commitments - an ideal place to be for a GM. The only good thing Gillis did was NOTHING during the trade deadline because the team was already made. Lets face it: We want Nonis back. He sure knows a h-ell of a lot more than Gillis. Aquilini had no excuse to fire him and sounded like a mumbling idiot at the press conference. And I quote: "We felt a change in direction of this team and the leadership was necessary."....
??? .... What change? Gillis didn't do one thing!
So the bottom line is Nonis got fired for building a team worthy of getting through the playoffs and Gillis got hired to take them there...
Excellent work Aquilini. He really is the village idiot of Vancouver.
