He said not to expect any sort of announcement. Sundin originally said "August" so that means August...not specific time in August.

I thought he was going to make a decision before Aug 1st?
Let's just stop thinking / talking about Sundin. It's causing too much trauma and stress in my life hahaha

well tambellini has been lining up for a GM job for a long time.
i am really glad he is getting a shot at it.
As for the sundin situation, I hope the alleged vermette deal is still on the table if sundin say no.
I wonder how vigneault is going to change our style of play with this new group of players

I doubt murray is going to trade him.

JP Barry said Detroit is not one of the 6 teams in the running.
Sundin announced he's not ready to make a decision yet whether or not he's going to play despite a soft deadline of August 1st.
Vermette is gone. Filppula is gone. Weren't those our plan B's at two different times this past month?
Brutal.

Gillis was on the Pratt & Taylor show this afternoon around 5:30pm.
It was a short phone interview and this is the important parts
- Patient with Sundin
- Thinks the offer was very aggressive
- Plan B and C in mind
"Yes, we definitely have a plan B and C and they haven't changed."
Looks like Gillis already has 2 backup trades ready in case Sundin doesn't sign.

You believe him?
Everybody knew exactly what he was going to say in the phone conversation plus Team 1040 is known for throwing out ridiculously easy questions because they are basically under the direct control of the team.

Question: Even if we do sign Sundin are we still gonna trade Bieksa/Salo for another top 6 forward?

The Aug 1st timeline was a fake. Sundin will be ready when he is ready and that probably won't be for another 1-2 weeks maybe. Only Sundin knows

I seriously wonder which players are part of Gillis' plan B and C.
He could very well have deals prepared already if Sundin officially declines the offer,
but I'm just curious what kind of players could Canucks get for Bieksa?
Afinogenov??
