BlueLemming Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I was really hoping to get him from Dallas, but of course he was just traded to Boston. Let's pretend it's later in the season and Boston is trying to unload him for whatever reason (poor performance?).. To Boston - Booth Schroeder 1st round pick if we get to the 3rd round, 2nd otherwise. To Vancouver - Loui Eriksson This was originally the proposal I thought up when he was with Dallas but I had Burrows instead of Booth.. and Boston wouldn't take Burrows. I like Booth and if he stays healthy he should have a good year, but I'd much rather Eriksson. Projected lineup - Daniel Sedin ($6.100m) / Henrik Sedin ($6.100m) / Loui Eriksson ($4.250m) Chris Higgins ($2.500m) / Ryan Kesler ($5.000m) / Alexandre Burrows ($4.500m) Jannik Hansen ($1.350m) / Brad Richardson ($1.150m) / Zack Kassian ($0.870m) Dale Weise ($0.750m) / Mike Santorelli ($0.550m) / Tom Sestito ($0.7500m) Zack Kassian could swap with Higgins if need be.

мeтpо Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Eriksson is worth Kesler +... I don't think Schroeder + a first would get him.. And do you really think they'd give up Seguin for Schroeder pretty much? Because they traded Seguin to get him, so it would be like Seguin for Schroeder. Very bad deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

мeтpо Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I see where you're coming from. But they definitely lost the Bos-Dallas trade to begin with, let's not forget that. This is more dependant on Booth having a good year, + Schroeder, and Boston shopping Eriksson. It's been done plenty of times before. A man can dream, can't he?

Down by the River Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Prior to the lockout, Eriksson was averaging 25 goals a year playing on a team unwilling to spend much money. He is now entering his prime on a team with a lot of depth. I don't see him declining in production at all. He is one of the most underrated players in the league (although lately, he is probably most often mentioned as the most underrated player in the league, which makes me wonder if he is still underrated).

BlueLemming Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 I'll give you this.. If Schroeder has a Calder year leading up to the trade deadline and Eriksson is struggling, I could see them doing this trade. Right now, the value is no where close.

мeтpо Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Hahah, okay I guess Schroeder still has to prove himself. Perhaps I still have too much hope in the kid. Either way, he doesn't fit into the Canucks future and needs to be shopped somewhere so I thought I'd include him in this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Why exactly would Boston trade Eriksson after just giving up a potential franchise centerman for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLemming Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 And I'd agree with you. If we could get Eriksson for Schroeder + a first I'd do it in a heartbeat. But you have to look from the other team's perspective and unless Eriksson is absolutely sucking they would laugh at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindenBurrows Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 boston only made the trade not because tyler is not a good player... he is thats why boston got a good player back.. they traded him away because on bostons team he was their third line center about to make 6million on his contract.... a little insane to have a third center make that much if you ask me... and most of the time he actually played on the wing.... and yes he was known to party it up...it was a logical thing to do for boston. but they gave up on rich peverley... this guy was so key for them... a very good underrated player in my mind.

LindenBurrows Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 It's not just Schroeder and a first though, there's Booth as well. Boston likes the power forwards, and if Booth can put up respectable numbers on our 2nd line until the trade deadline, I think it'd be worth starting negotiations on. Buuuut this is why I'm an "armchair GM" and not an NHL GM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallstreetamigo Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Eriksson and Booth have the same cap hit I believe, but Booth's contract is over after 2014-2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Vanderhoek Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 It is realisitc to assume the assets Vancouver currently has they could acquire Eriksson. It may just not be a deal the fans would like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
