Ohlund still contract-less

Hmm.. well at least Gillis isn't putting his foot into his mouth when it comes to Mattias. From Iain MacIntyre's article on Ohlund in the Vancouver Sun from Sept 26:
Both he and Barry said they've had several conversations about Ohlund, although the agent said the sides haven't yet exchanged offers because they're still discussing the market to see if they can agree on comparables.

"We're trying to make it a good fit for every player here," Gillis said. "Clearly, he's an exceptional player on this team and we want to do our best to keep him here. When you have a player who has played as well as he has over the years and his experience, it's a great asset on any team to have a player like that. He's been a great contributor here and I don't see how that's going to change."
Nice words. Better than what he gave his previous client (Naslund), which was nothing. Hopefully Ohlund will get enough incentive to stay here to keep the team afloat.
