Stick Taps: where I relay Canucks-related news and content that circulated throughout the Smylosphere this week. Rumours, opinion pieces, significant headlines and anything else worth noting to the fan base – I’ve got you covered!
Articles
- Canucks rumoured to have interest in All-Star defenseman Noah Hanifin (Daily Hive)
- Boeser expected to be 100 percent for Canucks training camp (NHL.com)
- Big-stage tournament won’t alter Canucks’ draft list (Ben Kuzma, The Province)
- Canucks aware of video-game craze, but not losing sleep over it (Ben Kuzma, The Province)
- Laurence Gilman is a great hire for the Maple Leafs (Matt Sekeres, TSN 1040)
Gilman had been up for the ECHL commissioner job; had also talked to Carolina about an AGM job last month… ends up in Toronto. How about that. Experienced hand for Dubas. https://t.co/nqrhx8aVwO

Dhiren – I said I would not reveal the identity of the player or go market-to-market denying it was each team's prospect but you've boxed me into a corner. This is not accurate. Your sources are wrong. It is not Olli Juolevi. https://t.co/5g9AggCMyg

I’m happy for Laurence Gilman, will miss him on 1040.
He put his name out there, was in the hunt for several different gigs, and landed a job in a market that probably had many applicants. Good for him to network the way he did.
I think Mike Gillis needs to follow his lead, if Mike wants to get back in the game. More interviews, guest appearances on the radio, and in general be in the public eye. Sit in on the panel. Everything Mike doesn’t like to do.
