Nothing really interesting from the Gillis conference, IMO. I guess the only news is that there is no major rebuild coming. He did promise changes but I think that's just something he said because the fans and media are not happy and he needs to sell hope.
Like expected, he made a ton of excuses for the current roster: injuries, refereeing, lockout, shortened season, etc.
I thought he was very vague for most of it. Talked a lot about trends, philosophies and new or different directions but didn't really explain what he was talking about lol.
One thing to note is that he said they'll focus on getting younger, bigger and tougher through the draft (LA or STL style?) and likely won't be trading draft picks away in the near future. I guess a "re-tool" is coming but with the contracts we have, I don't see how there can be major changes without a full rebuild.
Also didn't really anything about AV except they'll evaluate later
