Is anyone else curious if Erikkson might prove his worth being the swedish mentor to Pettersen?

Fact: Vancouver isn't a preferred destination for free agents.
Fact: Only now is our cupboard being filled with talent, and the team is still a long way.
Fact: To get players to sign here, you are going to have to overpay.
Take this into perspective: Yeah he's not putting up the kind of numbers we want him to.
He's not a liability, he's also unlike Messier. He's a low key, defensively responsible forward who outside of his own goal debut. It has taken him 2-3 seasons with each new team to start scoring.
At least he doesn't go to management and coaches demanding ice time, and better players to be put with.
And rip the team apart. It would be good to see a 20 goal, 40 point season. Maybe with some more skill at centre ice he can improve. Maybe try him with Dahlen at pre-season and see what happens.

I think Eriksson would be a good fit with Pettersson because he's good defensively and knows how to finish pretty passes. Perhaps
