Today's highlight is none other than our Loui Eriksson. I know the bar is set lower, but perhaps he can find a groove in a 2nd/3rd line tweener role this year, with some flashes of brilliance here and there as he might be facing lesser competition on a checking/supporting line. Maybe he should go back to the oversized shoulder pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballisticsports. Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I think it just illustrates how underperforming/underwhelming our Right Wingers have been over the years, You could still pencil in a damaged 49yr old Bure with no drop off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't write anything about those players if the fans behaved nice and only joked about them. When they become nasty I jump in. First upvote I ever gave you. However, for me this issue doesn't just apply to the players, so I often do the same when someone (like you for example) talks crap about JB or any other member of the organization. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FaninMex Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 With injuries, I bet he will play with Sutter to shutdown other lines. Predicting a few empty net goals for him this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bad in your comparation(or what you say) is that when I bring in JB(because of issues with par example Dahlen( as I don't need to say anything about JB without that issue)) I get 20 angry answers... When Dahlen got jumped only I stepped in. Regarding Loui it's better now but from the start it was almost only I that tried to steer the ship on a better course. A bit unfair to compare us two.

As long as the boat's going back to Sweden where LE can sit on his lazy ass and stop being a disgrace to his family by wasting more of Aquilini's money playing like hte useless piece of garbage that he is, I'm more than willing to fill the tank.

To be fair, he was a healthy scratch quite a bit during the playoff run. Scratched for 7 of the 17 games. Based on that play rate, he'd only be dressed for 33 of 56 games this year, assuming he's healthy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanfor42 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I dunno how much this plays into it but Eriksson has been paid his signing bonus for the year. He is now due only 1M for the rest of the season. Less the what ever it is say 20% escrow leaves say 800 k, less tax - means he's looking at making something like 400k to play this season - take home pay. I have a feeling that his attitude might reflect the fact that he doesn't feel very motivated by that kind of dough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timråfan Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 As AJ says... Why bother about a player that won't throw away his rights(no one on this forum would do it either) and won't play much. He played only because of injuries last season, Leivo par example. He didn't have a place on the playing roster last season. He will probably be in taxi squad due to Green like to have our younger players playing and he is experienced enough to know what to to if is a lot of injuries. He might get pushed down if Green will rotate the squad. If so will the best beside the goalie, be taxi players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said he is a good player and that Benning isn't going to sleep at night worrying about the player, maybe his pay. but that is on the GM, not the player and never is (this from a GM, not looking for a job) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
