I’m starting to think Mike Gillis might be a part of one of the strongest management teams in the league. I know this team hasn’t won a cup just yet, but the man doesn’t mess around when it comes to putting his money where his mouth is. The most recent example? Avoiding arbitration with Mason Raymond by signing him to a two year contract worth just over 5. 5 million in total. Pundits were predicting a moderator decision of around 3, good on this team for squaring things up before it would’ve got sticky in arbitration. Raymond offers good value at his new price tag, he has the skill and speed and this season he showed he had the finish, as did Mike Gillis. On paper, I can’t remember a stronger Canucks squad than this years edition. I can’t wait until this season kicks off.
It‘s quite in here! Why not leave a response?
