Mike Gillis, the former Vancouver Canucks general manager, joined the show ahead of the Ring of Honour induction for goaltender Roberto Luongo. We take a trip down back to the 2011 era with Luongo as the face of the franchise, the decision to make him team captain, trading Cory Schneider instead of Lu, the Ring of Honour vs. jersey retirement debate and more.

The league let Jersey off without a cap penalty, but with the Nucks…they nailed to the wall.
very interesting @25,45 anyways a good lawyer i beleive is 500hr also " lol i dont think either of you could afford me" good job in getting a free interview outta him by the sounds of it gillis sacrificed 1/2 hour Them lawyers feeling all the schooling they have done as soon as they open there mouth one way or another money must come there way Bow musta studied law in sayin "i tell ya that for free "
Wait what? Is that Colonal Sanders?
Great guy. Have served him many times in Oak Bay, always really nice, good tipper.
Very enjoyable interview guys. Keep up the great work !
Our best GM ever. Kind of sad how things ended here, it wasnt deserved. Hope he comes back to the league
Oh Mike Gillis… I can still feel his pain with Aquaman hiring Torts 😅
lol.. wonder if leafs talking heads going to gasp at a HOF not wanting to play in Leafs land..
In retrospect I feel bad for chanting " Fire Gillis " at that Islanders game…..
Completely agree on retiring his number, as one of the best goalies of his time and better than any of the three goalies they put into the Hall this year. If you were only going to hang just two Canucks jerseys on merit, it would be Luongo and Linden.
Such a shame he hasn't gotten back behind the front office. He deserves another shot at it.
Sekeres is such a clown. Good lord.
Mike Gillis' interviews are always so insightful! I've always been a huge fan of his. It's too bad that the Canucks didn't find an ideal replacement when he was let go from the GM position.
that was great!
Safe to say Torts and Gillis aren't the best of friends lol
The Schneider trade is still paying dividends…Hronek, Raty and Zadorov 😊
Mike is a gem. Regardless, they lost that 2011 cup, so many great memories and loving hearing him talk hockey.
Wish we lived in a world where local media and hockey executives could have this sort of conversation when they were still active.
Where the Canucks missed the boat is a dual McLean-Luongo retirement of #1. That would have made so much sense in my opinion.
Gillis was handcuffed with the goaltending drama. The Sedins were aging and draft lotteries didn’t pan out. Victim of bad luck.
MG hired Tortorella. He should have been asked before hiring. What is your plan for Sedins. The loon would have said I want to turn them into brawlers and goons and MG should have said send in the next interview. Gillis did not get another GM job. Better than the loon Grizzlies had as a first GM. Who has yet to get another GM job in the NBA and never will.
