You are the one who said he loses every trade he makes. That is a false statement. He has lost one deal.

Overall I give Gillis a C + for his body of work in five seasons. If they shit the bed and miss the playoffs I will be taking him to task then . The deadline is two weeks away.

If you're not going to challenge for a cup then getting swept in the first round is even worse than missing the dance.

It depends on the next 5 or 6 games. IMHO this team is a tweener centre and a 4/5 RH d away from being fine. It seems as though Eye Bags is asleep at the wheel though, so if they lose 5 of 6 then I sell every single UFA at the deadline , as you say dangle Edler for a top 5 pick at the draft and fire that fat giggling frog. We'll see how it plays out.

Until the last 2 games I have thought this team just needed a center, some energy, etc but after watching them roll over and show their belly like that I'm of the mind that it's broken.

Edler has completely lost his mojo.
Defensive zone coverage and forward support has been scouted and exploited by all
I haven't seen a physical forecheck all year
The depth at center issue shouldn't have been a big surprise but somehow Gillis didn't address it when it was a molehill.
Sedins are stale and predictable now.
Goaltending has been below average.
Coaching has stagnated to the point of total failure-see powerplay %

Time to recognize the window is now closed.
