Tyndall2 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 The team has some good chemistry going right now. Bringing LE back into the lineup is likely to mess up the lines, again. Let the guys play together for a few games to build up some momentum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyStrecher Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I really like how Gaunce played last night and down in the AHL. Gagner is just starting to get in an offensive groove. If anything Virtanen deserves more minutes not being scratched. I honestly don't see any reasonable solution other than rotating Eriksson, Gaunce, Gagner, Virtanen and Burmistrov with 2 in the lineup every night.

That honestly wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. Let them all duke it out for the spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 capfriendly did the numbers if we were to buyout Loui this summer and because Loui's contract is heavily based on bonus' you cannot buy that out. our only hope is that he rebounds or we will be having quite anchor.

combover Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) The unmovable Louie Eriksson to bad it his contract not his net front presence were talking about. trade with 50% or more retained could be the only way he might get moved and the return would still be next to nil. hard to imagine another 4season with him here.

The contract is quite movable in year 5. Only two more seasons after this one. And hopefully he'll perform even somewhat better during that time.

Won’t he be 35 with a cap hit of 6mill, sure hope for his sake and ours he can find his game. hes just looked lost here like he not sure what his role with the club has ever been,no real plan b for him once plan A the sedin line didn’t work. i just can’t see a team that needs what he brings at that price and when he’s older and even slower pretty clear the game is moving to young faster players.

Time will tell. Retain 50%. It becomes a $3m cap hit but only an average of $1.25m actual salary the last 2 years. For a solid 3rd line, 2 way winger (what he's been for us so far), that's not a terrible price. It's just that our current $6m is too much for that There is also some small chance though that his play actually does improve the next couple years.

Retaining 3 mill cap hit in years 5+6 is not really a better option. IMHO he needs to go to Robidas island the Aqua men choke on the contract and Loui I dunno can he become a skills coach or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd. Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 (edited) Through 8 games he has 4 assists but no goals yet. 3 points in 4 games. He's been pretty good lately and hopefully he starts banging in some goals. Edited November 20, 2017 by Odd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHTyrany Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Too much hate for the guy early in the season. How he is deployed affects his offensive prowess but despite being used in a defensive role, he looks pretty good so far. Wait until next year without Sedin2. I suspect he will be given more of a leadership role, he will run with it, and the points will follow. In 19/20 or 20/21, his cap hit should look respectable when the Nucks are making a play-off push with few play-off veterans in the line-up. I think Benning's game plan is medium term with Loui.

Zhukini Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I still think he should be tried with Bo and Brock, the twins will retire within a year or two, but Loui will still be on the books for four more years, you don't still want to be looking for chemistry in year 3. Erikkson - Horvat - Boeser Vanek - Gagner - Granlund Gaunce - Sutter - Dorsett Sedin - Sedin - Virtanen I like the game Sven plays but unless he wants a bridge deal, I don't think he'll be worth the money he's asking for, especially come the playoffs.
