The biggest highlight of the event came when discussing the process of arbitration. Barry McDonald, the evening’s moderator, asked Gillis if a relationship with a player can become fractured if he loses an arbitration hearing. Gillis replied (and I’m paraphrasing) "The only thing fractured in a meeting with Kyle would be if we brought a scale.", which resulted in an equal amount of gasps and laughter from the crowd. Gillis was quick to reply to that by saying that Wellwood has a great sense of humour and that he likes him a lot.

I was lucky enough to be invited by a friend, and the Canucks put out quite a spread for their guests, with food, activities and photo ops with Canucks prospects.
Strangely enough, every single scrap food mysteriously disappeared just minutes after Wellwood showed up for the photo-op session.

Pancake Kleenex. I’m sensing a highly successful business idea here. Someone take it to the Dragon’s Den on CBC, and be sure to tell them that Wellwood has already signed up to do the commercial work, and will work for product stock alone.

Is there anywhere outside an amusement park to get funnel cake? I don’t want to have to pay admission to Wonderland just to hit the FC. (But I would and it would be worth it)

I believe East Side Mario’s has a funnel cake on their dessert menu. Although roller coasters, beer and funnel cake are tempting.

Well, with a weekly food budget of between $3000 and $4500 (depending on when he gets up in the morning), you better believe he’ s out there digging for the clams all f’ing day long.

The scene opens on the sunlit front of an all you can eat sushi restaurant. People on the patio sip bubble tea while smiling and enjoying the weather.
A close up shot of an unattended bubble tea shows ever strengthening ripples forming on the surface. Boom. Boom. Boom. The noise becomes audible as a dark shadow moves across the patio. A woman looks up from her magura, drops her chopsticks and screams.
Kyle Wellwood walks in through the front door.
