Or maybe just have some fun and stay in shape. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Eriksson asked for a trade at the deadline. Probably no takers at that time. Look for him to be moved at the draft or in the summer. He does not want to be here... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing in a defensive role nonetheless, you should be able to accidentally get more hits than he did. I don't want that garbage around this team, he's not teaching young guys anything other than being over paid and soft. Bye Kind of embarrassing when a midget like Gaudreau has more hits than you this past season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank mode is not good at all combined with this managements(Green, Benning) will to let players hang out to dry instead of really defending players against fan-hatred.

Haven’t tried to Google translate it but usually works out ok Yeah Google translate was close enough to get the gist. Really hope he looks at waiving and moving on this summer after his bonus is paid. Not sure he will though given his comments on how long it took his family to settle...I guess we wait and see what happens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borvat Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) I translated the article. Not much there other than the usual - "I don't understand what went wrong and the coach doesn't really tell me" I wonder why he seems confused (or wont admit it) about his role on this team - bottom 6 and must be defensively responsible. He can't keep up with the speed of the play and doesn't really engage - it's not that hard to figure out. If you don't like it maybe it's time to move on. I am hopeful they can find a home for him. After his bonus in the summer - $4MM - he is only owed $9MM over the final 3 years with a $6MM cap hit. There must be a fit on a team that has cap room (to hit the floor) that could use a veteran player who can play defense and chip in. They could trade him for futures or a late round pick.
