Its a dilemma because if you don't hand them out the player might not sign the deal. But if you give them the no trade deal they may relax and get comfortable. Its standard practice that almost every big name player gets one of those in their contract.

We had 1 win in his final 9 games. He wasn't the glue, nor did he play particularly well in his final dozen games before injury.

Sadly, I agree. These days, I can miss a Canucks game and not really feel too upset. Now, not to say I'm not a diehard fan still, but I just haven't been excited to watch this team play much, if at all, this season.
I feel Gillis was too flexible when negotiating contracts. He can't be giving third liners contract clauses.

It can be easily fixed, but certain people (and fans are guilty of this too) are too loyal to certain players that they refuse to put any blame on them, or change the core. This has been a mentally weak team for years, yet the core hasn't changed. It shouldn't surprise anyone how bad this team has become, yet there are those still living in denial.
I've made no such assumptions either. But doing something different is bound to generate different results. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, and that's exactly what the Canucks have done. That's also exactly what a lot of Canuck fans want (more or less...mere tinkers isn't going to change squat with this team).
I have never been that connected to this core. I do like the Sedins but I can't stand Bieska, Burrows and Kesler.
I think the off season will be very interesting.
well with Markstrom playing......the team will try to win for him.....getting a top 7 pick is good but at the same time it wouldn't not make the player happy or give markstrom any confidence at all

Just got back from the game. Whatever, we all knew this was coming.
The 'Fire Gillis' chant started in my section but I didn't join in. So small-time that

They whooped us... we couldn't hold the Ducks jockstrap this year.
Bring up the farm team... Lets the players go golfing early.

I think his importance to the club is vastly overstated. I like him and he played way above expectations but he wasn't a savior.

The players seemed uninterested in playing this game, or at all this year. Why play them now?I actually think that would be a pretty good punishment for them to not play our stars the last 3 games. I know some guys will be pissed at that and hopefully realize that they need to show more effort and emotion. The locker room doesn't seem remotely upset after being eliminated from the playoffs, (though that happened a long time ago technically).

There was too much garbage on the roster this year and I called it before the season even started. This is why I was so furious in July/August/September/October. This team seriously lacks talent right now.

I sure players like kesler showed some emotion just not on the ice....Twins don't show their emotion but they probably are angry they cannot get the job done.....some of them will want to redeem themselves for next season

There was a game today? Holy hell, I was at home, even flipped through the channels. Shows how disconnected I am from this team.
I could care less about hockey right now. Especially when you look at this:
BBQ this weekend!!!!
(even warmer Inland

Relative to his peers? Doubtful.
Hamhuis, Garrison (worse) has been equally as bad as Edler. We rarely hear anyone complaining about them. It's just the norm to **** on Edler.
The guy has a shot (that he misses often I might add), and has an active stick. That's it. He can't skate, is not physical, and is terrible at passing/receiving the puck.

I sorta figured we would have trouble with the new alignment this year... Looks like that came true to form.
