IF Gillis is actually not a completely blind moron, and to be fair he's acted to cagey all along to be labeled as such, then maybe he's looking at the 2014 draft over an objective eyebag and, seeing that it isn't a very strong or promising draft, is going to wait until next year to go into full rebuild mode. What if come the 2015 draft Gillis is able to have hung on to Kesler and Edler and makes a deal happen that sends them out in a crazy package that lands the Canucks the first overall pick? That means Connor McDavid.
Because if the Canucks miss the playoffs this year and next year as you suggest then Gillis isint the GM here.
