If Canucks don’t get Sundin they will make another move

“The only problem is the idea that these things can be perfectly planned … that’s false,” Gillis said Monday from NHL meetings in Florida. “You can have theories about where you want to go and what you want to do, but things change daily. Something that isn’t available today might be available in January.

“Every team wants a big, dominant centre-ice man. Other than goalie, it’s probably the most coveted position in our league. In the event that Mats doesn’t end up here, we’ll be looking at other things.”

Gillis has helped orchestrate a culture change since he replaced Dave Nonis as general manager last spring. He has expanded the management team and invested in player development. He has begun implementing some innovative ideas about assessment and player preparedness — both mental and physical.
