However, given the tragic passing of Luc...and looking at our present defense, we sure could have used the kid this season. Patrick White, as I've said before is at best, a long term project who may never play in the show. Burke continually left the cupboard bare wherever he managed a team so yes, Nonis did have to deal with that. Gillis seems to hold onto assets and that will serve him well in the future.
