Thats what id like to see more of. great game against the sens. The entire line with bo and pearrson did real good. Looked like a zombie in most games when wins still mattered. Him padding his stats against an AHL roster means absolutely nothing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the hockey gods are just and fair, Green will let him finish the season on Bo's W and someone might actually trade for his high cap/low cash deal after July 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you're right. Would be nice to off load him. I don't mind the guy at all but it obviously hasn't worked out and it's time to let one of the young guys take his spot.

Mrwipeout Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 well its a bad contract but hes still a very versatile player that can be used in any given situation. And seems to me hes doing great on the 1st line with pearson and horvat. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAce Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 wonder if we can offer loui to LA for Kovalchuk ? He is a healthy scratch in LA, both have bad contracts but id prefer someone with the skills of Kovy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly, if he's that versatile I'd prefer to see him play in net. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaudette Celly Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Rather expectant we see him moved this off-season, in conjunction with another possible mid-to-higher range signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 The only way I see Eriksson moved is by taking back another bad contract, or by a team trying to reach the cap floor and as mentioned are willing to take on the high cap low cash scenario. Either way we are likely to get hosed one way or another. At this particular point, cap space is a non issue for us so I wouldnt be surprised to see him stick around into next season.

Problem being, there's no room at the inn. And that doesn't get better next year with more prospects pushing for spots (including potentially this year's first), a possible UFA etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to take on someone's dead wood. A team wont give up anything to take on cap space. It usually involves the team having to offer a prospect or high draft pick to entice the other team to take on dead weight. I suggested Kovalchuk because he can still score which is something that Vancouver could use. It may not be ideal but at this point id rather have Kovy than Loui in the lineup.

If we can then great but I dont think there will be many takers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cap floor team will take on Loui's contract as his cap hit is 6 mil per but he only needs to get paid 3. No need to take on some more deadweight to get rid of him. Throw in a mediocre prospect or late pick and it can get done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Eriksson's 2 assists push him up to almost the same points-per-game as his first season here in Vancouver. Per-Game Stats: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Has a solution to the Loui problem finally presented itself? Over the last 10 games, Pearson-Bo-Loui have been a regular line, and suddenly Loui has 6 even strength points. Which just happens to be his highest production with any line this year according to Dobber stats. If Loui can't be moved, maybe its actually just fine. Something seems to be working with that line, and Loui did help set up both Peasons goals and had a couple of decent chances himself. https://frozenpool.dobbersports.com/players/loui-eriksson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
