dpn1 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 With the way LE's deal is for the next 5 year, is it possible to trade him at the Trade Deadline? I think this could be the worst off-season signing the Canuckc have ever made in their complete time in the NHL. It seems like he has no clue to why he is out on the ice most of the time. I don't even know if he has a no trade clause that makes moving him more difficult. He seems to be uninterested out there and on most nights he seems invisible. I always thought not hearing a d-mans name a lot during a game is a good thing because he probably isn't making any real mistakes. The opposite goes for the forwards. I hardly ever hear LE.

I told everyone on CDC awhile ago that this was a terrible signing, but I got nothing but negatives for it. Most on here think he is a great addition to the club, I don't know why. They either don't know hockey or don't want to admit Jim's huge mistake. Either way it's horrible for this hockey club and no team in their right mind would take him now.

Because most on here are cheerleaders not fans, you don't remember the threads about how stupid the "media" was for saying the Canucks would suck this season?

xRussianrocket Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 NTC and NMC.. he is unmovable until the last two years of his contract where he can list 15 teams he can refuse to go to. And lets be realistic no team will take his 6 million cap hit now, in 4 more years no chance hell. he has 7 million left of salary and 21 million left in signing bonuses. He will get his money. We could offer to buy him out but our management wont do that and eat all that money. were screwed Eriksson will be a Canuck for the full 6 years...

I'm sure he'd waive to go to a contender, or back to Boston. I'm sure a team would take him if we ate some of the salary, which shouldn't be a big deal. Rebuilding teams shouldn't be tight for cap room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xRussianrocket Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Lol its a contract you cant re-write it.. Even if this was at all possible, no team NO team would ever consider taking his massive crap contract. Who wants to pay junk 6 million for 6 years? We just signed it and 35 games in realize its a huge mistake and think we can just dump it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweathog Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 In general I've been very supportive of Benning, but there's no denying that this was a horrible decision in signing Eriksson. What rebuilding team getting younger signs a 30yr soft forward with concussion issues?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phat Fingers Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 If Eriksson is willing to waive, the Canucks eat part of his salary, and the club taking him agrees to honor his NMC or at least protect him from expansion, there is no reason he can't be traded. He could garner a half decent return. We also may see the twins retire at the end of this year. With the way things are right now, both could get to 1k in points, and hang up the skates. They should be first ballot HOF players and that a heck of great career. Won it all, but the Stanely. We would have a ton of cap room and be well on our way to the new core.

xRussianrocket Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Boston probably could of resigned him for 4.5-5 million for 3-4 years.. Even they were like no thanks take care loui. They wont want him back now at that contract even if we could eat half of it somehow. We are stuck with Eriksson for the rest of this contract mistake overpayment for a UFA by a GM desperate to do something. more money then brains. If i owned this team id fire him for that signing..

It's possible that this could've been ownership's idea, sign a top (lol) UFA to generate interest in the team. I'm not saying that's definitely the case but it could be.

I believe that too actually i wouldnt doubt if they pushed him to sign someone get some butts in the seats hopefully make some of that sweet playoff money cake. Now interest and merchandise sales in this team are at historic lows, people dont even pretend to believe in this club anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
