I appreciate that Mike brought up the Twins before discussing Pettersson. A lot of people talking about the player with the same Don Cherry-wannabe energy that was swirling around Hank and Danny back in the day. It would be a massive mistake for this team to move #40
The way Alvin, Tocchet is dealing with Petey, I think he may not feel supported by the organization by not surrounding him with players that suits his style of game. Instead they tried to get players that best suited to play Tocchets system. They want him to be number one center but they don’t provide that environment to turn him into one.
Of course the current management deserve no empathy. They signed both players to long term deals and handed out the no move clauses with full knowledge the two players had had issues for years.
Miller HAS NOT proven to be a better playoff performer.. he was better last year when Pettersson was injured. Pettersson was a beast in tthe bubble and was a beast for his team as a rookie in the SHL leading his team to a championship and was the playoff MVP. In the bubble they had exactly the same #points with petey having 1 more goal and miller having 1 more assist.. miller was in his prime and petey was like 22. Last year Miller had double points but that entailed 2 more goals.. and a bunch of assists to Brock Boeser.. the 40 goal winger he got to play with. Not exacltly lighting the world on fire vs an player that was injured to be declared "the better proven preformer".. infact throughout his career Miller has not been known as a good Playoff performer before the canucks.
Always a pleasure seeing Mike Gillis! No other GM has taken the Canucks deeper than Gillis in the Modern Era.
Brought our team the closest it’s ever been, always respect for Gillis
Great impromptu interview. Enjoyed that!

The Legend! I miss how good our teams were under Mike.
I find it insane this guy isn’t running an NHL Team. One of the best GM’s in Canucks history.
Totally agree
He absolutely could, sounds like he's just enjoying his retirement
Are you for real. Gillies inherited a great team.
Miss those days.

Absolutely agree

I was at the game vs the Islanders when we all chanted " Fire Gillis " .....lets not forget that.

Miss Gillis! So much better than this current Management.
Davos? What was in Davos?
The annual Spengler Cup tournament.
@YTReid755 Ah yes, thanks.
I will always respect the F out of this guy.
Good guy Mike little cocky at times
Only GM with cup run 2011 best chant fired Gillis
I'd keep Miller 💚
Mike deftly avoids saying a single positive word about Miller, who's only the second highest point per game player in Canuck history. Typical.
He was a great player except when he choked in big games and whined when he didn't get special treatment.
