BIG FREAKIN MISTAKE!

Signing Loui Eriksson for a 6 year TERM was a BIG FREAKIN MISTAKE!

Sure he scored 30 goals last year, but it was suggested on Team1040 radio today that he was just playing hard for a new contract!

The previous 2 seasons he scored 10 and 22 goals!!

This will be Radim Vrbata all over again. For those of you who don't remember, Vrbata scored 31 goals his first season with the Canucks, then 13 the next season.  At least we didn't sign him to a 6 YEAR CONTRACT!!

Where is Vrbata now? Did he retire? Did we release him?

We didn't resign Vrbata.

 

While I agree that the term seems a little to long, he was injured in the ten goal year. He then scored 22 goals which I don't get why you think is low. Last year, he scored thirty which I don't think he will do again but he seems like he would put up 25.

 

He also is a two way player who will kill penalties and be used late in close games when we are leading.

 

The Sedins and him also have very good chemistry and have done well whenever they have been put together in the past.

Eriksson is nothing like Vrbata. They are very different players. You have no idea what the f*** you are talking about. I'm so tired of these threads complaining about every move this team makes.

I might respect ur opinion slightly more if you didn't wait 11 hours to post. But truth is its a good deal that will help entertain us during this rebuild on the fly.  There is only a full no move in the first 2 seasons. So if the wheels fall off which I'm doubtful off pending an unseen circumstance he can be moved.

 

Appreciate the positivity though!

LOL... SO Radim played worse in a contract year? And you claim Loui played better in a contract year... And somewhere in the middle you equated the situations... Makes sense. 

 

And no.. He reached Free Agency.

I'd just like to mention that Loui scored those 30 goals without the assistance of the Sedins. With the Sedins, the sky's the limit.

Vrbata with sedins = career high in goals. 

 

Lets try Eriksson who is significantly younger then vrbata and is more then just a shooter.
