Ghostsof1915 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I wish him luck. I think Grumpy is actually Mike Gillis. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Good on Cody for taking the high road praising the players and fans. And not taking the bait when Taylor asked "What happened there???" I do find it interesting he said he never had any issues with his ice time. That was the media. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabcakes Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 It's a development squad. I imagine they think that he can help the team as a veteran in terms of work ethic, leadership etc. He might think about coaching. He's well spoken and smart. Otherwise, he's taking a spot away from a prospect so the Preds must think there's value there 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pears Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I still think we moved on from him farrrrr too early. Gillis tried copying Boston and it backfired big time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we did. The Canucks and him were not getting along well, especially the medical staff who allegedly misdiagnosed his condition. It really seems like they did. Not sure what happened there, but I don't think the team handled Hodgson's injury well. On the flipside, Hodgson's father apparently was notorious for butting into his son's career. I think it may be fair to say that his dad partially ruined his son's career. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true. But I don't think it was only Gillis; Aquilini hired Benning. Something about how Boston constructed their teams had appealed to the Canucks brass. We even got Loui Eriksson lol. But to be fair, there was a history with Eriksson performing well in Boston, as well as Dallas. Eriksson wasn't the only bad signing that year. The other two signings for $6 million had similarities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we moved on. Kinda fuzzy on the details since it's happened so long ago. But seems more like Hodgson's party requested a trade and Gillis found a deal in Kassian, which he liked a lot and thought he could be a powerforward for us.

If Gillis just let the league know he was willing to trade Cody, instead of listening to the Buffalo GM, he would have probably gotten a better deal. Both GM's shafted each other. And now neither of them are in the League. Wanting some toughness in the forward lines was fine. Kassian wasn't the answer. I'm just glad Kassian got his life together and was able to carve out a decent career. Edited January 26 by Ghostsof1915 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t we win the president’s trophy the year of that trade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure you can directly attribute the trade to that Trophy. The Hodgson trade was basically a wash in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly Gillis knew he messed up, it was damage control. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
