#hiregillis has to be one of the worst takes that I’ve ever seen on #Canucks Twitter. No surprise given the source.

Let’s go through a scorecard with the same hindsight that we use to judge Jim Benning.
-signed Kesler/Sedins to below market deals ✅
-Kesler trade demand with 2 years remaining on deal, used no trade clause to limit options to 1 team ❌
-signed Hamhuis, who wanted only to come home ✅
-Hamhuis used NTC to limit deadline options prior to deal expiring ❌
-traded for Higgins and Lapierre at 2011 deadline ✅

-Luongo contract ❌
-Luongo trade situation ❌
-hired Torterella ❌
