I hope he doesn't look hungover, or openly sweat.
Despite some missteps, I'm still a believer in his ability.

So you're saying Gillis is really this guy?:
Nien commandant. If sgt shultz is gillis then who is klink? Cuz hogan certainly isnt AV
Iain MacIntyre speculated about this very thing earlier this week on TEAM 1040. Basically he said he thought being a GM was something Gillis wanted to try because he had a bunch of pet ideas, but that he's tried a lot of them already. Gillis has already made his money as an agent, and Mac just didn't think he was wedded to being an NHL GM.
I don't think I buy it, but I guess stranger things have happened.
Gillis: “I think we need to get younger, I think we need to get bigger and stronger.â€
Gillis says he’s not going to give up on Mason Raymond, but he needs to take a step forward.
Gillis has not talked to his players so it’s too early to suggest who will go and who will stay.
Gillis on Luongo: “If you take a look at his body of work, you’ll see that he’s an elite-level goaltender. We’ve got a ton of confidence in Roberto.â€
Gillis: “I have every bit of confidence in Alain [Vigneault].†… “Re-evaluation starts with me first. I’d like to be here.â€
Gillis says the Canucks won’t change their style of play despite the success of defensive teams this postseason.
wondering if any of these gems from last year get repeated, and whether any reporters will ask follow-ups if there's duplication

''first of all I'd like to thank Dave Nonis and Brian Burke for Daniel and henrik Sedin, Kesler, Burrows, Hansen, Edler, Bieksa, Luongo, Schneider, and AV, they are the reason I am still employed and will not be fired. My work as GM has not be adequate, my trades have been horrible and I have failed to give this core the right support and secondary scoring needed to win a cup. I had a great coach handed to me that I have used for 5 seasons, two outstanding goalies, a great top line and dominant second line center and a strong defence to build around and adjust. It is my fault that this team spent 10 million on goaltending when only one can play at a time, it is my fault that the Ballard, Booth, and hodgson trades have hurt this team. Therefore, I am hear bye announcing my resignation, please accept this apology and admission of failure''
Is what I hope to hear from Michael D Gillis.
Should not be very entertaining at all.
AV wasn't present at the last year's as well.
Can we just get gilman to do the season end presser.
Instead of giving the company answers I think fans want to hear non robotic responses, when gilman is interviewed you can tell its how he really feels, and its his thoughts and opinions not just as an assistant gm but also as a hockey fan. With gillis you can tell he was a damn good lawyer, makes sure not to say anything damning for the organisation.
