No, I won’t pay for stupid over priced Chinese real estate prices in Vancouver. Renting is fine for me now, just waiting for the bubble to burst here, that big sucking noise you’ll hear will be the jets flying back all the idiots that paid $1.5 million for a 75 year old wet rot 2 bedroom in Kits.Short man Gilles is too short to make my wife happy. .Vancouver +Canucks=losers.Got some Brex-x stock for ya, great price.

Seriously, dude, your rage issues don’t appear to have anything to do with the goalies or even the hockey team. Weirdo. =/

Giving Roberto an Arodless contract or going with Cory in the net for the playoffs.? Gilles has the buck stop at his desk . IT’S CALLED TAKING RESPONSIBIITY for your actions.Of course this is Vancouver , where the cops let the city burn during the hockey riots, thousands of condo owners that lost their life saving in the leaky condo disaster and the Fast Ferry scam which ripped off the taxpapers of
$ 500 million dollars. No one takes any blame, they just babble about “moving forward ” and no one goes to jail or pays out a dime.
Burke was a jerk, negociating in the local papers with unsigned players but at least he did build the West Coast Express and set a foundation for Norris and Gilles to build on.

The Canucks go with both for the season, and hot hand for the playoffs.Gilles made this mess, now the pile is getting Deep.I hate to say it But Burke was smarter on contracts than Giles.

Counting this year he still has a salary of over 6.7 million for the next 6 years. He will be 43 when his contract expires. Only the last 4 years of his contract is his salary less than his cap hit and he will turn 39 years old when that happens.

But next year teams know the Canucks have to move salary. As of now the Canuck have less than 3.9 million in Cap space for next year. And that is only with 14 players signed. Considering NHL teams fill a 23 man roster that is a problem. Other GM’s know this as well.

It was all up front money, and he’s going to be an elite goalie for another six years or so. His contract is not an issue, I wish people would do some more homework.

Since moving his contract will not be easy.

Seriously, people, Gillis holds all the cards here. Two talented goalies, one who’s willing to hear a lot of trade options, and one who doesn’t have trade protection at all. Like he said – pragmatism.

They will try again to win a Cup with him and if they fail he will then be moved along with some others.
Reach the Finals he stays, anything short he’s gone.

No reason to talk about it further, the crystal ball never lies
