Eriksson was selected by the Dallas Stars in the second round, 33rd overall, at the 2003 NHL Entry Draft. On loan to...CHINA?! This is how you're building your confidence back, Loui? This must be a summer league or something.... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't be taking on Stralman and Myers unless they're moving out Stetcher too. Why not? Cap is not an answer. They can dump Loui and Sutter somewhere. So why not?

DeNiro Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Watch it end up being the original Lucic for Eriksson swap that was proposed months ago. All they're doing is waiting for Eriksson's bonus to be taken care of on the Canucks end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucic is still young enough to be an impact player. Louie could use a fresh start where his first goal for the new team isn’t on his own net. If Schenn isn’t coming back, and Roussell is out until Christmas, we will be the biggest pushover team that the NHL has seen in the last 50 years.

I hate Oilers an Bruins , but Even Boston has done a nice soft retool. We will now slightly resemble the oilers rebuild on a decade hunt to respectability. We will be soft as butter an smurfville on back end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnAntoski Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 The Canucks will probably just have to ride out this contract unless LE decides the situation is too uncomfortable to even be worth it; perhaps after the July 1 bonus has been paid he and the Canucks can mutually terminate the contract then he can bet on himself to perhaps sign a decent contract ?? With this media stunt, he isn't just highly paid but in that locker room I would say he is also overpaid.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codez27 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 This has likely been explained but can someone explain LE contract to me and why we are unable to buy it out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be bought out. It's just not very beneficial on a financial level because the cap savings are very minimal. Most of his cap hit will still be on the books.

All they're doing is waiting for Eriksson's bonus to be taken care of on the Canucks end. Lucic likewise has a bonus payment. But looking at the roster, I see no possible reason why we do such a trade, unless it is with one massive sweetener. Roster is full without Eriksson, we just need to dispose of him, at hopefully a reasonable cost. Zero reason to have another of the same, or actually a less-useful player, in fact. 12 hours ago, VancouverHabitant said: If Schenn isn’t coming back, and Roussell is out until Christmas, we will be the biggest pushover team that the NHL has seen in the last 50 years. Exaggeration overload. We've added Miller, Myers, and Benn so far, losing the likes of Hutton, Pouliot, and Granlund, maybe Goldobin as well. Look at the roster, we have some size and grit on every line, certainly more than in the past. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gagner wasn't in the same category though, so rather than doing someone a solid they're likely more interested in turfing out a guy who's run his mouth on the team and needs to leave. Would have been nice to have done it by now so we could use the $ to replace him, but with money tight there will still be opportunities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just never know, he may just decide to move on. Unlikely but it has happened. Edited July 1, 2019 by Jimmy McGill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
