Gillis Talks Luongo, Trade, Increased Roles on Team 1040

I just heard bits and pieces of Mike Gillis on the Team 1040. To sum it up briefly:

-He is "absolutely confident" that he can get Luongo to sign an extension by training camp

-He talked about increased roles for guys like Wellwood, Raymond and Bernier.

-Don't flame me for this, but he also mentioned a little something about acquiring another defenceman via free agency or trade.

-Apparently, he also talked about the Olympics and Shirikov, but I missed those parts.

If I can find a link to that interview I'll post it here, but that won't be for a while yet. They are too busy hacking Michael Vick and Patrick Kane.

Update: Here's the .mp3. But please, do flame Zanstorm about the need for another defensemen!

Zanstrom…he talked about Shirokov being a dynamic player, and very talented. That he is bigger than mentioned in places it is mentioned. He also said they had tried to get him in for the Moose’s playoff run. That its up to the player…but if he doesn’t make the team out of camp this year, that they have every confidence that he will.

With the 2010 guys, he was saying that they are more than willing to have them there for the experience, and that beats out the risk of getting dinged.

Then he gave Big Daddy a shot about sitting on his deck drinking Crown Royal…

Peace

Hacking on Michael Vick. How timely. Tune in at Christmas, when Pratt and Taylor talk about how Tiger choked at the PGA Championship.

I've seen enough to know that I've seen too much.

Thanks for the link, Yankee.
Funny how the first thing Gillis says is that Shirokov is bigger than he is listed as.
“Still working on a defenceman that we’re planning on having done via trade or free agency before training camp.”
Oh geez, Thursday, don’t hurt me….
Let the speculation begin! (Or continue, I guess.)

Just because he wants it...

…doesn’t mean it’s gonna happen. Besides, if he goes trade I could look quite the jackass (watch it!) if he beefs up instead of going small and fast.

We’ll see what he can pull off, then I suggest we DRINK!

(Hey, maybe Shirokov can play defence too…)

'We’ll see what he can pull off, then I suggest we DRINK!'

If Lawrence Nycholat ends up as that defenceman I’ve got an old case of TNT beer stashed in a crawl space we can use. Mmmmmm, 9% and you can really taste that botulism!

As for ‘flaming Zanstorm’, all one can do is giggle childishly.

You can do that?

To Zanstorm:

‘hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee!’

(runs away, stumbles, cries)

Zanstorm catches the whole pathetic incident on video..posts it on YouTube.

by Sean Zandberg on Aug 18, 2009 1:29 AM PDT up reply actions  

Neve mind the beer...

If Nycholat is “that guy”, I’ll eat TNT!

usually when you say 'dont flame me'

It means you are gonna get flamed really bad.

I am less optimistic about this season than last. A move needs to be made. But I don’t think it is a defensive one that is needed.

fuck it. I can handle it…..maybe

Ummm...any $$$ to be won here?

Not sure what the policy on Nucks Misconduct is about betting, but I gave you guys a chance for a “pool” on Loungo signing. My original pick was Aug. 24th.

I stand by that, especially after hearing our man Gillis today. He sounds pretty confident that Bobby Lou will be signed soon.

Now that I think about it, I guess I need a Paypal account to get paid? How would that work? So, what do we think? Keep it fun and small…say 5 or 10? Yankee, you have to play with US bucks at par though…forget the exchange rate!

And Yankee? I agree with him that there is some ample talent here on D’…but I also agree with you and Gillis about needing another one with offensive capabilities.

Peace

Just because you are a smartass, you can find the link to that bet..or it didn’t happen! haha
It still remains to be seen what Louie will do though, I don’t care what Gillis says.

by Sean Zandberg on Aug 17, 2009 8:02 PM PDT up reply actions  

Zman…just trying to drum up some biz…i know you didn’t actually bet.

But when the 24th rolls around…I do expect to see him signed.

Gillis wouldn’t keep repeating its that close if it wasn’t.

He doesn’t seem the type to negotiate in the media.
