All trade options to move loui were explored and NO ONE wants him. So AHL it is! He nixed trades apparently 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of these posters that say that don't understand facts and numbers. Statements from players agents, general managers too! Must be nice going threw life being deaf dumb and blind to all info coming from an outside source. Do. you. not. understand. that. GMJB. says. he. explored. every. trade. option.?

But intelligent individuals like yourselves say he is still a NHLer...... My account and a ban from CDC for a year if Loui is on the Canucks opening roster? If he is not on the roster, same stipulation for you. Once again... Louie nixed trades 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canucksnihilist Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Wow obviously LE isn’t the player he was. obviously The contract - the buyout proof contract - is terrible. So... not really much to say. My prediction is the AHL and a quick retirement. Signs in Sweden 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I blame Toronto for all of this. Fist they &^@# up the RFA market, and then they do the same thing for the veteran trade market by giving up a 1st to move Marleau making it impossible to move Loui without a similar giant giveaway. Lets focus our anger on TO where it belongs. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LE was offered more money and term than he was worth and did what any of us would do, he took it. JB is responsible for this crappy contract, no one else. There are a few other over paid folks on the team that add to the cap crunch the team is facing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is most of us would put in an honest effort, and not blame others for an unacceptably poor performance. Eriksson has no one but himself to blame for his absolutely pitiful effort and unprofessional conduct off the ice. Not many GM's will take a borderline AHLer with character issues that severe, even for league minimum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has the classic signs of aging: hands go, and strength goes, which makes it near impossible to compete. When he accepts that he’s done as an NHL player, he will retire. I believe that time is coming very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bree2 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 the term and amount is not just on Benning, Ericksson signed that contract with the understanding that he would play the right way , and for the last 3 years he has not tried his best. anyone who has watched him play know this is on him! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JeremyCuddles Posted September 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2019 At what point does a thread get shut down? Not trying to be a mini mod or nothin' but this thread about him being traded or lack thereof is pretty much a "crap on Eriksson" thread. Seems kinda weenie to do but hey if that's how y'all choose to spend your time by all means. Just feels like the thread is a bit more in bad taste now that it's a roast fest. Lol. And lets be real it's just the repeated "he's not worth his contract" "He sucks and belongs in an old folks home" "I hate him he's AHL garbage" etc. 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets focus our anger on TO where it belongs. I don't know about the RFA market. Maybe it was a 500K overpayment? Maybe. If Nylander has a career year, $6.9M will be good money for Dubas. I agree about the Marleau deal though. That came out of left field. I'm surprised someone else didn't offer a better deal. You'd think TO would be better off sending their 1st round pick out west... Our only hope for a trade now is Loui makes the team and goes on a run (nope) or if we take back some other horrible contract (eww). I think we just stick him in Utica and hope he retires after his next bonus is paid out (July). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we just stick him in Utica and hope he retires after his next bonus is paid out (July). with the RFA market Dubie's first move was to give in to Matthews and sign a deal that lets him walk as a UFA instead of doing a bridge. Next he lets Willie sit in Europe and signs and overpayment for it. Now he's going to do some epically bad contract with Marner that every other RFA pretty much is waiting on. Id say thats not doing the league any favours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id say thats not doing the league any favours I guess you're right about Matthews. That 5 year deal didn't really seem necessary. Maybe Dubas was scared Matthews would win a scoring title or Rocket Richard trophy last year and then he'd have to pay upwards of $13M if he waited to re-sign him. He didn't. Instead he gave Matthews market value with player friendly term. Hindsight is 20/20 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
