More pushback more grit which is what 3-4 liners are supposed to be. Those players have a combined 9 NHL career goals. Do I think Gaudette can replace them? Probably eventually. MacEwan? Who knows. Significantly overrated imo. Biega? Maybe combined in the next 5 years. Edited July 24, 2019 by Silver Ghost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never said we don't or that Eriksson's spot could not be filled by a young player. But he, at this point, is a far more accomplished goal scorer than all 3 of those guys you mention. They have not done much to suggest they would easily produce the same goals at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably eventually. MacEwan? Who knows. Significantly overrated imo. Biega? Maybe combined in the next 5 years. The thing is LE came to us having 60 pts in his previous year of play. He has been gifted opportunities since his arrival and barely produced 20 pts per season for 3 years. Last year he was given the “wake up” call by Coach Green in the latter part of the season hoping to help Eriksson respond. I know that I am, and feel pretty confident that the Canucks must move away from this player now and let other prospects and players fall into the positions and roles they deserve. It felt like a slap in the face to know Eriksson collected a “bonus” cheque for his efforts,. And for him to be gifted a position on this team that might be earned by another player would have the fan base heated. Utica will work for Eriksson if he is not willing to waive his NTC’s. He will not last 3 years in Utica. If he went he would pull the plug after Christmas. There’s a Ferrari in a garage somewhere in Sweden with his name on the plates.

When have you ever seen me say Eriksson should not be moved? I fully believe he shoukd be, even if it costs Benning a good asset to accomplish. All I have said is IF Eriksson is still a Canuck come training camp, he deserves every opportunity to earn a role, just like every other player does. Punishing him without giving him that opportunity is a bad look for the Canucks imo. If he gets beaten for a spot, so be it. Move on whatever way they can. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be happy to see all three of those players given the same chance. Can we dispense with the false notion he has been gifted anything. He was signed to be a top 6 guy. Without that opportunity he would not have signed with Van. He was a top line player when he signed the deal. They gave him some opportunity with the Sedins and it didnt really work out. He has had a few other chances in the top 6 but hardly gifted minutes. MacKewn or Gaudette on the 1st or 2nd line? Based on what? Biega a top 4 guy? Based on what? None of those players have earned that either so your argument seems to be to gift only players you personally like any opportunity without earning it. I disagree that anyone should be gifted anything. They should all have to earn it. Edited July 24, 2019 by Silver Ghost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool. Hardly... The young core is what takes the team forward. I argue with fans that don't understand the damage they inflict on their own team when they bully players as hard as you do. If you only could be a bit more civil. I let Green decide the roster. Wich you fans not want him to... Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just rhetoric and in the end blame someone else. Kind of like Loui's play. A brilliant mind understands my difficult situation with typing in another language... An understanding very few on this forum has shown. So Twain quote is ridiculus to use by those who don't understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at least you notice the guy when he plays. He gives his all every shift. I'd take Gaudette and MacEwen over Loui any day though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like your beloved Timra IK has been demoted to a lesser league, deservedly so for failing to qualify, Larcenous Loui will be demoted also. Count on it. You can follow his every move, or lack thereof, in Utica next season. But - in all likelyhood, the AHL may be much too far beneath the mighty LE, and he just might retire and head home (please, little eight pound baby Jesus, please) and you may get to see him up close and personally in Sverige next season!

Hurra! Well what's more likely is that he refuses to report, and then the Canucks can terminate the contract. Then he can sign in his beloved Dalls for 1.25M or whatever they offer him. Don't let the door hit you on the way out! #Loutica 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theo5789 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I find it funny that people keep saying that LE has been gifted so many opportunities and yet his minutes have decreased every year here. Now people will say he hasn't earned the minutes, so he's rightfully getting lower minutes, but then he's not being "gifted" any minutes now is he? So let's put this back into perspective that LE has been given some opportunities with top 6 players like the Sedins in his 1st season (but the Sedins were declining to almost PP specialists at that point) and he saw some time with EP in which he actually looked decent, but was pulled off the line not because he wasn't performing but because they wanted to ignite Boeser and they stuck with that. LE did get some time at the end of the season on Bo's line, but it's hardly him being handed plenty of opportunities. With that said, LE has no one to blame but himself as he should be finding that next gear rather than hoping the coach gives him the opportunities. He needs to take the minutes that he is getting and show the coach he deserves more time and he does sporadically and Green does reciprocate by upping his ice time on the nights that he is performing well, so he needs to be consistent in his effort.
