Canucks find their GM

http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/story/2008/04/22/nhl-canucks-gillis.html?ref=rss

It didn't take the Vancouver Canucks long to find a replacement for recently fired GM David Nonis. Today Canucks owner Francesco Aquilini announced that former agent Mike Gillis is their man. With Vancouver having around 20 million in cap space for next season, many are hoping Gillis can use his negotiating skills to bring in some top quality offensive talent to go with one of the best goaltenders in the league in Roberto Luongo.
