Gillis guys. It's obvious these guys weren't being listened to at all, given their roster moves though.

Lol C'est complet.

 

[TruGr1t]

Hah, like all the guys actually good at their jobs?

 

[MS]

LOL

Hahaha, everyone competent fired.

What a complete joke this team is. Every day something new.

 

[D0ctorCool]

ho boy.

 

[Huggy]

So no delorme fml

 

[thenextone]

Wow. I thought Gilman and Crawford were highly valued

 

[Abaddon**]

Great, wiping the last streams of Gillis slime off this organization.

 

[Craz1bo1]

Wow. This is something else

 

[Vankiller Whale]

"So this Gilman guy has been harping on me for my contract extensions on Sbisa, Dorsett, etc. How can I remedy that?

I know, I'll fire him. Problem solved."

 

[DCantheDDad]

Fired, or escaped the impending Canucklepocalypse?

 

[stuffradio]

How long until Rogers Arena is empty now? One year? One and a half years? Half a year?

 

[coastal_nuck]

What a complete joke. By all accounts, Crawford sounded intelligent and a good gauge of talent. He should have been leading the charge on the draft table. Delorme, who has been here much longer, deserves much more of the blame and he should have been the one to go.

Benning and company have no idea what they are doing. They are ruining this team and they don't even know it.

 

[Love]

Literally the nicest and best people within our front office strictly from a people perspective.

They also happen to know a ton about running a hockey team. Can we please do something? Banning is ruining our franchise!!!

 

[KDizzle]

Well the only positive I can think of is when this team of morons all get canned we'll have fresh blood from the top down. I can't imagine either of Gilman and Henning taking over as the GM of the Canucks... and when Benning and Co get fired, I wouldn't necessarily want them to take over.

Also they deserve to work in an environment where their meaningful input is being heard.

 

[absolute garbage]

The purge has begun.

Either these guys quit after the recent moves because they couldn't take it anymore, or they disagreed with Benning and he fired them and wants more Weisebros in with similar philosophy of running the organization to the ground.

 

[Love]

So how long until these guys are picked up by another team? I'll say 1 week MAX for Gilman.

Probably really close to the truth. They shouldnt have issue finding jobs.

 

[PhilMick]

Holy ****! This franchise is unrecognizable.

 

[PhilMick]

Lol at Delorme not fired.

 

[polarbearcub]

cue weisbrod promotion.

We are now the leafs

Gilman to the Leafs.
Fits perfectly in their Money Puck scheme.

 

[Love]

Keep Delorme, fire Gilman, Henning, Crawford.

I just don't know.

 

[Aqualung]

LOL this couldn't get any worse.

Weisbrod runs the table, Delorme's back in the GM's ear, and the competent individuals who could possibly counter-balance the idiocies are thrown out.

My guess is all three disagreed with the direction and decisions of Linden, Benning and Weisbrod and this is the result.

Hated the Linden hire, hated the Benning hire, hated the Weisbrod hire, and it's all unfortunately affirming my beliefs.

 

[DCantheDDad]

Holy ****! This franchise is unrecognizable.

It's like that Billy Joel song: Aaand we will alll go down together
