Just leave him in the AHL, but not getting any playing time. How long do you think he would last being made to travel and practice without even getting into games. Just wait for him to lose his $&!# and get himself suspended or terminated. Here kids, this is the object lesson of what happens if you don't want to work hard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy clearly wants a change of scenery and it’s in the Canucks best interest to get rid of him before his poor attitude affects the younger players. Utica would be fine, green doesn’t coach there if we can trade him and a 3 for a 7 great but I don’t want to take on Lucic or another horrible contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could gross that over 20 years at my current pace but the government takes about 40% in income tax off the top, so realistically I’ll never take that home.

flickyoursedin Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Canucks aren’t in a position to deal negative contracts and give teams futures to take them. I’m perfectly content with keeping Eriksson whether it be in the minors or the fourth line. Rebuilding teams don’t pay these prices. They take these contracts to speed the rebuild up.

theo5789 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 2 hours ago, Jimmy McGill said: actually it puts us in a better position if he clears. Teams would already have him buried if we have to add in a "sweetener". Someone might take him for free. And finally it puts more pressure on Loui to decide what he wants his future to be. I don't see how it makes it worse at all. No one is going to want to take that salary in the minors. The reason why we got rid of Gagner is because we took on a player with the same cap hit that was in a similar position. It would be no different than trading for Lucic (with the theory that they are both under the same contract and if he cleared waivers as well). This isn't a one year remaining deal, teams aren't going to add him as potential playoff call up depth and they are gone. I understand putting pressure on LE, but it sets a bad example and it's really unnecessary to do so for cap reasons. His comments weren't welcome, but also weren't bad enough to warrant this treatment IMO. This is a stiff arm move that could backfire long term for little short term gain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5Fivehole0 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Was just thinking... If the Canucks retain 50% on Loui, he no longer has negative value in my opinion. He's still an above average player, defensively. 3M a year for a dependable PKer/3rd liner that can get you 20-30 points. With that, there's also the chance he flourishes, and becomes a 3M guy putting up 50 points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the comments were bad enough to warrant a suspension without pay. Not holding him accountable sets a worse example and the team is better off without him wasting a roster spot. Similar situation to Gagner last year mouthing off after playing like garbage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even remotely.

canucksnihilist Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Blaming the team is just a way for the agent to be in a position where he can fleece another team. LE is done. He is slow. He has no creativity. That won’t change no matter what team he is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
