Jägermeister Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Why would anyone in the league want a declining 2nd line player on the 1st year of a 6 year $36M deal. A team would have truly inept management to think that was a good idea... ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabreFan1 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 $6 Million contract to Eriksson + Luongo's cap recapture when he retires from the Panthers. That's a sizable chunk of wasted cap money. Too bad Aquilini was too stingy to buy out that ridiculous contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Really? We're going to start this conversation all over again? Why did we have 18 pages (and counting) on Eriksson already if people aren't going to read it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Googlie Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Give him Granny as center and Rodin on the other wing, and 15 mins a game and he'll hit 60 points. He's one of our best defensive forwards .. sure, he doesn't hit, but who among our forwards do? (Skille and Gaunce are our leaders among forwards). He's not soft and is one of our better penalty killers. He is currently 3rd in Corsi and 4th in Fenwick, so it's not like he is a bust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't blame the tool if the carpenter is a hack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been given plenty of time with the twins and he looks lost out there. I dont blame WD for taking him off that line so where else does he play him ?

canucksnihilist Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 He is lackluster cause he knows he has no chance of winning. If the sedins didn't fall off a cliff this year they would still have a shot.... that's why he signed here.... to replicate Olympic success. but it's over before it started, we needed him here a few years ago or sooner, it might have worked. Brilliant idea to get and sign him.... one last shot for the sedins to win with the team... but time waits for nobody, too bad as it would have been really fun to watch!!! So don't pretend u wouldn't have risked sucking a bit longer in the down times for another sliver of hope. Even if we had another run but fell short it would be fun. That's what we tried, it just didn't work. Was a long shot, but we aren't winning now anyways so what's the risk? now that it failed, the length of his contract probably equals the time it takes to rebuild this franchise. We are 5+ years out people. Luongos retirement won't mean squat, as we won't be competing so cap space won't matter. So chill and enjoy the games, btw we need a new coach who can play the young guys. peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its ridiculous given all the international success they've had. And look at the experimentation since then - you think all that Chaput time is good deployment?

swizzey Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Sure the signing doesn't look too promising right now, but at the same time he has been playing in a Canuck jersey for 3 months... it takes time to adapt to new environments. As an ex-professional athlete I can relate to what he is going through. Give him time to adapt. Secondly, being a young rebuilding team, his contract won't kill us over the next 6 years. Keep calm and stay the course. I still believe Eriksson is going to help us 2-3 years from now when we get back into the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most on here think he is a great addition to the club, I don't know why. They either don't know hockey or don't want to admit Jim's huge mistake. Either way it's horrible for this hockey club and no team in their right mind would take him now. You told CDC a lot of things over the last while. All wrong so far.
