i found it after I saw a tweet by Jeff Marek that said Gillis was coming on HNIC radio and that he expected his co-host, Bobby Holik, to thank Mike Gillis for the ranch (Holik bought a huge ranch in Wyoming with the money Gillis got him as an agent)

its from a Bruce Dowbiggin book "Money Players" written in 2003

Money Players: The Education of Bobby Holik - NHL - ESPN

2 quotes stood out (because one was bolded font - lol)

“Maximizing compensation is the first and foremost part of my job” - Mike Gillis, NHL player agent - slight change to his job description now as an NHL GM - lol

"The agent business is full of guys with (guts)," says one high-ranking NHL management figure. "But Mike Gillis has the (most guts) of all."
