Canucksfor2012 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Don't mind the contract as long as there's not a NTC/NMC. Boedker next @ 3.5 - 4 would be great, but unlikely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruxin'sVinegarStrokes Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I really like this dea. I agree that he will most likely age well as he has shown to have a solid two way game. If think this is a better team now than two years ago when we made the playoffs. Maybe rebuild on the fly CAN work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 This is in part a sign of respect for the Sedins imo. Players like that who have given everything they have to the team and city - you go out and get the best player you can to play with them - simple as that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilya Mikheyev Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 There's no way it matters if Eriksson plays with the Sedins like it did for Vrbata or even Bulis. Vrbata was playing for one more cash out (JERK), Bulis for a career season, but Eriksson is pretty much on his last contract and is getting paid fairly. That's a huge difference.

Tortorella's Rant Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I like the signing. The only thing that might be of concern is the length. 30 is the new 35. I don't want to see him become Vrbata half way through. Especially when the twins are gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikael Boedker Thomas Vanek Ted Purcell Matt Martin Sam Gagner Josh Jooris Brandon Pirri Joe Colborne Boedker , Vanek an Martin are my list to go for now martin would be great default grit addition to add. Happy Canada day Canuck fans ! I no longer have that empty feeling I had on Draft day. ps now it really seems to bad we did not buy Burrows out . We could now use that cap cushion right now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffraff Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 12 minutes ago, oldnews said: He's not a big hitting guy, but he's a very good skater, he goes to the hard areas and he is a good forechecker despite not being what you would characterize as "gritty". Then again, neither is Burrows necessarily, but he gets the job done. I think Eriksson will be versatile enough that he'll help in a lot of ways - and can play on Sutter's wing if the Canucks want to platoon Eriksson and Honey Badger. I like the signing a lot. I may have preferred Brouwer at 4 yrs, 4.5, but Brouwer is probably not going to be bringing 60 pts any season soon, so they paid a bit more for the additional upside - and arguably the team may need the extra upside more than the extra grit. By convincing shots I didn't mean Louie's physicality. I meant I'm open to listening to those in Agreement with this signing to convince me. separating those in the group that know why this could be good, like yourself, and those that just want new stuff and expect him to have Olympic mojo with Daniel and henrik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 6 mill for 6 years is no surprise at all. This is what it would have taken. Eriksson will help Canucks make the playoffs next year. He had a big year last year, not unexpected as it was a contract year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derp... Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Stoked he gets to play with the Sedins at the WC before the season even starts. That line will be on point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy 20 goals, and potential for more if he's hungry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N4ZZY Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 8 minutes ago, Gooseberries said: I just fear in 6 years he's taking up a young guys spot. I wouldn't worry about that too much. it also gives out prospects time to develop. no rush and no pressure to make it into the line up when they aren't able to yet. develop the prospects properly and this team will be good in a few years time.
