Ilya Mikheyev Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 1 minute ago, Gooseberries said: Why do we need him? Because if you want to develop young forwards, you need a player who can actually create offense and keep plays alive in the offensive zone. Plus, the Canucks want to stay competitive to help their young core build confidence and get tastes of success. Plus Eriksson is a reliable 2-way forward so he can be trusted on any line. Plus he's a former lineman of the Sedins in international play and a former Benning and WD player. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircool Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Hopefully he retire when the Sedins do. Might save us some years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should make your post a sticky here. its exactly why they need older skilled players on the team. No matter what stage they are in a rebuild. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I would sure love to poach Joe Colborne from the Lames. That would be the cherry on the day. Or Matt Martin. Kaboom!. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
