We only save a little over a million by sending him down.
I have a feeling if we're in the race by trade deadline we'll pay a pick or prospect to get someone to take his contract, and if we're clearly not playoff bound (which I still find unlikely) then we trade him in the off-season.
Or we could just get the bus to drop him off at a kiddy rink on the way to the game and he'd probably still think he was playing in the bigs anyway, he doesn't seem like a super bright guy.
That being said, poor old Loui is definitely the weakest link on this team, which is a good thing for the other forwards on the roster.
Means we're on the way up while relics of the past like Eriksson are on their way to working at a swedish McDonalds.
I bet he wouldn't even salt the fries properly though and you better not order a burger with no Onions or he'll throw a fit about how his skill in the kitchen isn't being utilized in the correct role!
