He broke down how hard the Sedin negotiations were last time around behind the scenes. Also broke down what the Canucks would or should be considering in Bo Horvat negotiations. Another thing i remember was he went on about how he and Gillis were always at odds about asking guys to waive no trades. It was a good discussion. Its probably on tsns website if you want to give it a listen

heres how pitb saw parts of it

Former Canucks assistant general manager Laurence Gilman made an appearance on TSN 1040 on Wednesday, taking questions from Canucks fans. He also talked extensively about Bo Horvat, revealing a few interesting nuggets of information.

One thing he said is that the Canucks knew they wanted Bo Horvat all along at the draft. “We knew were taking Horvat,” he said. “In fact, we were negotiating with teams that were higher than New Jersey.”

He did say that they didn’t have Horvat at the top of their draft list, specifically mentioning Aleksander Barkov, who has been outstanding for the Panthers, but it’s clear that they were far higher on Horvat that we even realized at the time. They anticipated him becoming a top two-way player.

“Our position on Bo at the time was that we felt he was going to be a player cut in the same mold as a Patrice Bergeron or a Jonathan Toews without the prolific offensive upside,” he said. “What I don’t think we anticipated was that he would be a 20-goal, 50-point player in his third professional season.”

“He’s ahead of the developmental curve that we saw at the time,” he added, “but he has been everything else that we anticipated he would be in terms of the two-way player that he is, the type of individual, high-character.”

Except that not all of that is true. They were expecting him to be a shutdown second-line centre, but it’s fascinating to see that the offence has come faster than expected, but the defensive side hasn’t at all. He’s not the two-way centre they anticipated. At least, not yet.

He also touched on Horvat’s ongoing contract negotiations: “If I’m representing him, it doesn’t start anywhere less than 5 (million).”

One other note: he suggests that he and Mike Gillis were too slow to make changes to their scouting department. “If I were to go back, I think we might have waited too long to put Eric Crawford in charge.”
