Issue #69 — Captaincy
Good article by Brad Zeimer on his blog regarding the Luongo captaincy. I don’t think he is alone. Perhaps Gillis used the captaincy issue as leverage to get Luongo to commit to a long-term deal. If that is the case — mission accomplished. Now let’s get a real captain.
Read Zeimers take here:
In other news. Apparently Brain Burke is pissed at the signing of Bill Sweatt last week by Gillis. Toronto won the rights to the talented college winger last month but couldn’t sign him. He is projected to play in the same vein as Mason Raymond.
Look for Gillis to continue to plug holes with the departure of Grabner and Bernier last month. For every bad move Gillis makes, he makes at least two good ones. I think the Sweatt Brothers will mark an impact on depth that the Canucks have been lacking in a while.
Talk Soon
