Better to keep your mouth shut and have everyone THINK you are a fool...

He got a lot of credit from being on a good team at its peak. Like Brian Burke one said.

The irony is that we may see several Gillis drafted/signed prospects join the team over the next couple of years

Yeah those NTC's are brutal. Really handcuffs the team.

Look at SJ and those 3 year deals they gave to Jumbo and Marleau.

What was DW thinking giving NTC's to those guys?

It's common knowledge they love living there.

They should have sold high on Marleau years ago.

As frustrated as we are with our team can you imagine being a Sharks Fan?

No way those people are buying into what DW is selling.

We gave the twins the same deal almost.

Several? That's an overstatement no?

Jumbo and Flatrick both a little older though.

Would you have traded the twins and if so at what point?

Took the GF to breakfast , went shopping , washed the car and soon taking her to WR for lunch, what have you lazy bastids done

I would have traded the twins when Gillis first got here. I am the wrong person to ask

They did have a very good year this year and I look at them a whole lot different this year, but yes I would trade them if I could get a very good return

Several? That's an overstatement no?

Well, we have one in Bo - Corrado makes 2.
I would qualify 4 total as "several"
That means we would need two of:
Shinkaruk
Gaunce
Hutton
Grenier
Cassels
Jensen

To make the team - I think we see at least one of them so it's not so farfetched to think that two or more may make it in some capacity

Ya I guess hey...not sure how many regulars you'll see from that list but I'm sure there'll be a couple. Still poopty for five years of drafting.

Considering how badly torched the Gillis regime's drafting was, anything on top of Horvat is icing on the cake IMO

He will find his Swiss Miss and choose a life of frolicking in lederhosen in the Alps sucking on sugar free Riccola instead of hockey.

You've changed...

If Babcock leaves Detroit, should trade for their 2016 first round pick.

Datysuk and zetterberg are getting older. I highly doubt they are making the playoffs next year.
