But an argument could be made that the forwards are not that far off. Your missing Hamhuis. He was unreal for us till he got hurt trying to take out Lucic. The 2011 defense was the best defense this franchise has ever had. We need Joulevi, Woo and Hughes to be studs to even get close to that team.

Motte already plays more pk time than Loui, so the real question is " who will replace LE's pk shifts" Leivo, Pearson, Miller and Ferland all had miniscule time killing penalties last season with their respective clubs, and the 2 most used after Granny, Motte and LE were Schaller and Roussel. So do you keep LE around at least until Roussel gets back? Good point, good question But, yes...…….I do not see Eriksson leaving immediately As I put in my original, roster's for the start of the season Eriksson is there then, and after Roussel comes back, and after the TDL He is not useless, by any means Just not worth 6 M...……..as everyone knows In saying that.....I could see him gone But only if there is a need The question is …...what is the need? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Regardless I think we should waive LE and hope that for some reason he will leave Millions on the table and not report and decide to retire or terminate his contract. If he does that we save 6m in cap space, if he doesn't we bury 1m and let him ride the bus, maybe he gets a call up during the year when injuries happen. Could he play in our bottom 6,sure. All he really does is kind of a decent job on the pk to some people. I just dont want the floater on our NHL roster period But, like many things in CanuckVille I don't always get what I want haha! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a pretty complete looking roster, barring injuries. Hopefully no waiver wire players are plucked, except Eriksson lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigTramFan Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 5 hours ago, Googlie said: I agree, but it's not going so well for Gaudette (as a potential Sutter replacement (he was the goat on one of LA's pp goals when he left his man to double team across the rink, only for his man to score. But everyone starts somewhere. I am sure Loui wasn't born a skilled penalty killer, that's why we have exhibition games, but I haven't seen anyone step up to the plate. I was hoping for Jake (remembering the Bure - Courtnall years where PK speed absolutely deterred the opposition forwards from crossing the blue line at times) but Green doesn't seem interested in trying that (although he did when coaching in Utuca) So who is auditioning for Loui's spot on the PK? I would love to see Virtanen given the opportunity to grow into a great PK'er. I think that the team would be much more balanced using him in that role. If he could do it, I would then think that Beagle, Sutter, Motte and Virtanen would provide plenty of PK ability. Horvat and Pearson can be used if one of those other four are in the box. No need to keep LE around just for PK. However, as you say it doesn't look like JV is going to be given the chance by Green. So regarding whether LE is going to stay as a PK specialist...I am expecting JB to waive Biega and Schaller and to run with 14F and 7D, including Eriksson and Goldobin on the roster. Until Roussel returns, and depending on who makes the lineup on any given night, the PK forwards would be drawn from: Beagle, Sutter, Motte, Eriksson, Horvat (and perhaps a little of Pearson, Virtanen) Once Roussel returns, and if Green still doesn't want to grow Virtanen in the PK role, I would like to see Horvat taken off PK duties and stick with PK pairings of: Motte-Beagle and Roussel-Sutter I also expect that JB will have tried his hardest to trade Loui before Roussel returns to the lineup.

Wow just wow Loui Eriksson is a bum. His shelf life is over. Some players just fall off a cliff. Hes not the first nor will he be the last. Examples, Jonathan cheechoo, Scott Gomez, etc etc. During PP it's easier to score. Take away the best PK in the team will inevitable lead to losses. Some speak of JV as PK. But then you have others talking about a possible hamster brain. That will lead to bad judgement calls and losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post VforVasili Posted September 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2019 People actually want to waive Virtanen? I understand he is the popular whipping boy and he hasn’t yet lived up to everyone’s expectations, but here’s the thing: He a fast, skilled 3rd liner on a very cheap contract. I would love for him him to get there and be the next Bertuzzi but even if that never happens he is an important piece of the puzzle! Y’all listen to too much sports radio. 2 2 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtanen would be picked up in seconds. It's hilarious because players like Biega, Schaller, and Erikkson would all go through. People actually thought Saunter and Boucher would get picked up. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
