""One of the names that is kind of floating around because they're interested in what he did in his past job I think potentially is Mike Gillis. That's a name that they have kind of looked at and I can see why. He took a team that was really struggling and took them to the edge of the Stanley Cup Final.""
""Gillis was the Canucks general manager for six seasons from 2008 to 2014. During that span, they had a 261-146-51 record, good enough for a .626 points percentage that was the sixth-best in the league at that time.""
""During Gillis' tenure, the Canucks also won back-to-back Presidents' Trophies in 2010-11 and 2011-12 along with him winning the General Manager of the Year award in 2010-11.""
""They have to be data-centric. They have to really understand the importance of data and where data is moving," MLSE CEO Keith Pelley said on Tuesday about what he is looking for in a new GM."
The Toronto Maple Leafs are reportedly interested in Mike Gillis as a candidate for their next general manager. Gillis previously served as the Canucks' GM from 2008 to 2014, achieving a .626 points percentage and leading the team to the Stanley Cup Final in 2011. He won the General Manager of the Year award in 2011 and oversaw significant player achievements. Following the firing of GM Brad Treliving, many candidates are expected to pursue the position, with Gillis being a notable name.
