Mike Gillis finally got off w
ith his free agent signing after re-signing the Sedin twins just before they were bound to be unrestricted free agents. The right hander Swede is staying in Vancouver for 3 years at 2.5M each season. That is of course that he won't be traded but it'd be foolish to do so unless his production is sub-par. He should be able to play with the twins and create great chemistry - all 3 of them being Swedish is just pure coincidence! Gillis has about 7.2M left to re-sign RFA's Wellwood, O'Brien and Hansen or else someone might pull a Kevin Lowe and overpay them! Canucks also need a backup goalie seeing that Sanford is likely leaving and Schneider will want a lot of playing time... which is next to impossible if you're on the same team as Luongo. I'm hoping he [Gillis] signs a puck moving defenceman like Francois Beauchemin. He is a puck moving D-Man, right?
