He's still a hockey player and still provides hockey services. His scoring is lacking, but he does provide defensive stability. So he has some value to the team. The only person with any sort of actual money in Eriksson is Aquaman, so why are you so upset? Is it a waste of money, yes. Not my money and it won't be a waste when the team actually needs the money cause his contract expires then. Lol, that's a really weak argument. The money (and cap space) could have been used elsewhere to bring in someone who actually helps the team win instead of being wasted on someone playing a role that an AHL'er could play. That's my general point regarding the amount they're paying him. JB may have made decisions based on how much money the team had tied up in him and may have passed up on some players who could have really helped the team due to LE's contract. I know it's too late, and a moot point now, because we are stuck with him, but it just gripes me when people try and justify his value by touting his capability in a shutdown role. Just chalk it up as a bad decision made by management and one they hopefully learned from and will never repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, but this GM has made more bad decisions since so it will continue as long as he is in charge. The LE is just by far the worst, cap hit wise and how the damn deal was structured it is buyout proof, maybe you get lucky and can trade him but I dont know if JB can pull off such a feat...

How many other shutdown 4th liners in the league make $6m? It's the equivalent of you or I hiring somebody who says they work for HR Block to do our taxes. We sign a contract with them at an accountants rate but when they show up it's discovered they're not an accountant at all but merely the janitor for HR Block. Would you say, "oh well my taxes weren't done correctly but I've got the shiniest toilet bowl on the block and it only cost me $80 an hour", yeah probably not. Again this is nothing about what I replied to. I've acknowledged that he wasn't what we brought him here for and his contract is not worth what he provides. I replied to a poster criticizing his compete level and effort and he's redefined his game to give it his all in another aspect for the team. He has been effective in his new role regardless of value, so there's no need to trash him further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueDragon23 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Michigan is eliminated. So keep a watch for Quinn potentially signing. But I do not want him playing injured so hopefully he does not come up to the big club until he is 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea how the system works but 14 and learning to drive...that is young!
