the changes would be quick or sweeping.Amid widespread speculation coach Alain Vigneault would be fired after being swept by the San Jose Sharks, Gillis instead preached patience and promised a proper evaluation of "every element of the organization," identifying several areas that need improvement but stopping short of saying he will break apart a team two years removed from Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final."There will come a day where the core group will be dismantled but it's not today in my mind,lya Kovalchuk Authentic Red Jersey," Gillis said of a group led by identical twins Daniel Sedin and Henrik Sedin,Tim Thomas Jersey, and gritty center Ryan Kesler. "We need to supplement them. We need to help them. We need to have a different look. We need to get younger."Whether that includes a new coach will have to wait for Gillis to formulate a plan and present it to ownership. But the GM defended Vigneault, who in seven seasons has guided the Canucks to two Presidents' Trophies, six Northwest Division titles, and a Cup Final.Vigneault leads the franchise in wins and winning percentage at 313-170-57, and was named NHL Coach of the Year in 2007. But he also has been behind the bench for a 2-12 skid in the playoffs with 19 goals scored and six straight losses on home ice."We just finished, and most of you know I don't make decisions based on immediate emotion or pressure," Gillis said. "Alain is a very good hockey coach … like everyone else, he will be evaluated for the way this season went, and the way the last two seasons have gone,http://www.nhljerseyofficial.com/shop-by-player-shane-doan-jersey-c-343_362.html, particularly in the playoffs."That analysis will include style of play -- and type of players -- the Canucks want.It's something Gillis said has changed since Vancouver went to the Cup Final against the bigger Boston Bruins in 2011. He declined to make changes then, and again after being eliminated in five games by the collapsing defense and punishing forwards of the eventual champion Los Angeles Kings.After seeing the St. Louis Blues and Sharks emulate that game plan this year, Gillis admitted it may be time to transition from his initial emphasis of skill and speed."Five years ago we came in here and reset this organization and it's time to do it again," Gillis said. "When I took this job we decided on a style of play that resulted in great success,Shane Doan Authentic Red Jersey, and clearly the landscape has changed and we have to address those changes. We don't have a choice. It's not something I necessarily principally agree in, but that's what we face, that's what we have to do. We have to make changes and adjustments necessary to compete for a Stanley Cup. It's my intention to do it."Gillis would prefer not to, saying "you have to have skill in the game,Alex Ovechkin Authentic Red Jersey," and "a bunch of us" general managers hope to "push back and try to keep the skill level as high as possible. But you have to take what you are given."Asked if he should have started that transition after being knocked out early in the 2012 playoffs, Gillis pointed to swapping small, skilled center Cody Hodgson
