If Naslund is back as captain I will officially be cheering for a new team next year!
Not sure what other 25 goal man is available?
Jury is out on this one. Yes, Gillis does know how to valuate players and play GM poker - he's done it enough on the other side of the fence. However, he definitely won't be admitted to the old boys club exactly because of that association with the other side of the fence. Unless Tambellini gets more admin work to do (the kind of stuff that Gillis hasn't done before), this might be a very long season coming up.
Does this mean that Gillis will be a yes man for Aquillini? Possibly. I'm getting the feeling that the owner is in love with the idea of hanging around with pro athletes, so there might be a bit of a grace period while the starry-eyed phase lasts. If, however, the team starts to tank in November, watch the inner Harold Ballard come out, and our favourite team turn into the sad sack Laffs of the 70's.
There is one thing you can guarantee - this will keep Neil McRae going for another season....
Not jumping off the bandwagon, but getting a bit tired of having to push it,
