Would the GM's ALL gang up on him? Tough to say. Biggest thing to me is that if Gillis is offering a sweet deal, what idiot wouldn't take it because he 'doesn't like him?' Answer: maybe Brian Burke with Kevin Lowe.<BR/><BR/>"Burke, Lowe and Lombardi all have pretty shitty teams now."<BR/><BR/>They do? The Oilers and Kings have nowhere to go but up now.

If every GM he's ever dealt with doesn't want to deal, then surely there are GM's out there he hasn't dealt with before who will. More than likely, because all the GM's probably were out golfing (and didn't invite Mike Gillis) they decided to form a union against his success. Just shows how the older some men get, the more they resemble little boys. This too will pass. Nonis, for all his connections, couldn't get a deal done either, and Burke, Lowe and Lombardi all have pretty shitty teams now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
