It's quite clear that Green doesn't think Loui fits his plan. At least with the players available last season. Now, if we go into 3 scoring lines Loui might find a place. Loui knows that he needs to work harder... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst case he doesn't and we waive him by mid November. If it pans out tho it's a win/win situation 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amplified0ne Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Scary is that LE isn't the worst free agent signing from 2016. It was a mistake but it probably could have been worse by a lot. Probably our style of play didnt help LE either, and he didnt get off on the right foot scoring on our net in his first game lol. We aren't going to be paying assets to get him off the books, so he is here to stay for the forseeable future, maybe even the length of the contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Guess they were worried about somebody grabbing LE if he was exposed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst case scenario is Eriksson is around another 2 years. That last year will be bought out as it actually saves Francesco money and saves us some cap space.

I kinda feel like he might realistically consider retirement after next summer's bonus is paid if we can't move him elsewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandmaster Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Not since Messier has there been so much hate on for a Canuck player by Canuck fans. Messier, just like Loui, was way over paid for his production but it didn’t end there. His lack of effort, drive and motivation was so obvious as is with Loui. This unfortunately is infectious on team morale, giving a bad example to others on the teammates and line mates. To be paid so much and contribute so little, that becomes a poison on your team and creates a situation where others fall into the same lack of effort. Regardless of what Louie brings to the “PK”, he ought to have been cut for the sake of the team. (On another note. If both were signed to league min salaries none of us would be enraged as we are now. The worst part about Louie is that his contract is based in a cap world that Messier was never a part of). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.I.A.H.N Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 The thing with Eriksson is he is still an NHL calibre player, and what drives him is he can compete, even if it is at a lesser level than what he expected. He will retire when he does not compare to the players he plays against..... They have ego's, but are probably their own harshest critics....trust me Loui knows what level he is playing at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
