ESQ wrote: ↑Fri Oct 12, 2018 11:11 am From the interview, and the results, its clear that drafting wasn't a top priority for Gillis. He has his reasons for why that was the case, and had he won a Cup we wouldn't be second-guessing and he'd likely still be the GM.

Well then thank God we didn't win the Cup because Gillis certainly would have been the worst rebuilder ever!

I don't know that we can say he'd have been the worst rebuilder ever. Kevin Lowe says hi. I'd go so far as saying Gillis likely would have been better than Nonis/Burke at rebuilding, given their results in Toronto.

Unfortunately, Gillis' outside-the-box thinking applied too often to drafting. I do think a player agent should be good at scouting, because a big part of their job/income is from scouting junior players, getting them into the right programs, and putting them in a position to get drafted and sign huge contracts. But unfortunately, Gillis went off the board too many times, and never had it pan out.

Its a funny thing though, because Benning went a bit "off-the-board" in picking Pettersen. It takes cojones to make those kinds of picks, and when it works you are a Genius. When it doesn't work, you're the Worst Rebuilder Ever.

Hard to say he went off the board. We know several teams drafting behind us were eyeballing Petterson. We know Nashville would have selected him 1st overall had they been drafting 1st overall. Pettersson was what, ranked around 10? That’s not really off the board is it.

I think it’s more an indication of Benning’s overall drafting ability. Boeser, Demko, Trymankin, Gaudette Hughes, Pettersson and yes Juolevi. No question there may have been/were better picks for some of them. But overall not too shabby.

To me off the board is picking someone ranked in a lower round. Perhaps it’s just semantics.

Well, lets just say Petterson didn't pan out. The storyline wouldn't have been "star prospect busts", it would have been "Benning shouldn't have reached for EP".

I hadn't heard that about Nashville, and I'm a little surprised since they picked 29th overall that year.

The Ego - Mike Gillis graces us with his presence with Sekeres and Price on all fours “Mike Gillis your so amazing”. It’s like thinking back only on an ex’s amazing tits completing disregarding how much you couldn’t stand the hag at the time.

Mike Gillis loves Mike Gillis, the master at placing the blame onto others and then taking all the credit for the accomplishments. The guy is an arrogant prick through and through.

This means you don't like Mike Gillis ?




Just kidding!
Didn't care for him myself.
A pompous ass with the media.
Not now---cause he's or so he thinks.
Would it not have been more apropos for David Pratt to be the lead interviewer. ?

Sekeres and Prices Gillis Love-in was about as shameful as the Pratt/Taylor - Ron McLean Love-in after McLeans witch hunt on Alex Burrows. “Oh Ron you’re so amazing” - Pratt and Taylor

I thought it was a good interview. Were some of the words too big for you?

“I’ve been studying Aussie Rules football and how those athletes train. That’s the future of hockey, Aussie Rules Football” - Mike “Supreme Leader” Gillis

Gillis and Pratt. Total hatred, remember?

How is it that TSN1040am had Travis Green's pre-game vs Wild, chat live, and Sportsnet650am was on something entirely else?

Did they find a loophole? More and more, the company station fails. Luv it.

Sportsnet 650 is likely pretty hamstrung by the amount of Leaves/Blue Jays/Raptors coverage they are obligated to do.

On the flipside, 1040 probably tilts more heavily to Lions coverage than is strictly necessary...
