Do we really need Sundin? A fans rant

You know, there was a lot of things that came to mind when Nonis got fired. First came shock, then came denial, then came acceptance. Nonis was great for the Canucks, he brought Luongo here, added to our extremely bare cupboard of prospects. The only bomb of a prospect he drafted was Pat White, but everyone has a bad pick.
When Gillis came, I had a little bit of hope, but I obviously wasn’t impressed with what he said about Nonis. Blaming him for the team being the way it is, but thats another story completely. Gillis promised big changes and results. We got some change, but not at the level he promised. He basically revamped out fourth line, and got Demitra and Bernier to replace Naslund and Morrison. Not that much of a upgrade considering Demitra is made of glass, and Bernier has not lived up to expectations.
When Sundin was offered 10 million over 2 years, my jaw dropped as I walked aimlessly around the neighborhood trying to make sense of this obvious overpayment. Gillis promised youth and change, and then he offered 10 million dollars to a guy who is almost 40, approx 3 million more then what ANY other team would have offered him. Doesn’t make Naslund look overpaid anymore does it?
