6string Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 The July 1 NHL Free Agency is a lot like Black Friday Shopping in November: a lot of unnecessary shopping and overspending for crap ya don't need. 2016 was a big wake up call for me, more busts than a Jeffrey Epstein weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollumpus Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 2 hours ago, Jimmy McGill said: '4th liner at best' isn't accurate. He's been ranked in the top 20 PK players in the league and has put up ~30ish pts. Not worth the salary but hardly that description. Probably still middle of the pack of the hardest to move contacts, unless you're Calgary 2 hours ago, grandmaster said: Many 4th liners in the NHL that can do PK work as well or better than LE Not looking to defend Eriksson here, but 4th liners did you have in mind? Who can also put up 10(ish) goals and 25(ish) points per season? regards, G. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowdyCanuck Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 (edited) I rather trade Loui for Quick and then maybe Jim can get a first for Markstrom..... Clark could do wonders for Quick. Edited July 26, 2019 by RowdyCanuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Ghost Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I notice how many of these guys have A on their sweater. Is that some weird GM way of justifying the contract? Lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is taking those two muffins for the contracts they have. Loui for Ehlers, straight up. I'd do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, not looking to “defend” him either - but if we can’t move him there’s worse fates than Beagle and Loui on your 4th line. (I’d prefer Motte/Leivo as I’m sure most would.) But at least Beagle/Loui can play some defense. The worst part would undoubtedly be sifting through the hilaaaarious “10 million dollar 4th line” comments ad nauseam. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst part would undoubtedly be sifting through the hilaaaarious “10 million dollar 4th line” comments ad nauseam. This is my feeling as well. I would rather they move him but if they dont, we could actually (finally) have 4 lines that can chip in offensively with a bottom 6 that can eat those defensive minutes. We could do worse than Eriksson on the 4th line. My hope is if they keep him, he comes to camp hungry to earn a spot and a role. At worst, he is a good fill in that wont hurt you to move up when injuries happen. If he wants more offensive time, the only way he is getting it is significantly outhustling and outplaying someone. He needs to realize that and bring his compete level to heights we havent seen from him yet in Van. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone curios should go look at the Eriksson moving on thread, i spent some time compiling stats(no analytics). I said Loui Eriksson"s production is that of a 4th liner at best, and that he will be in the AHL come October. Talk to Jimmy instead... He said something about Loui being a top 20 PK in the whole league. That's much more than I speak of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, we can get that up to 14.5 million dollar fourth line by putting Sutter on right wing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roussel is better than a 4th liner. IMHO, at least a 3rd liner. Zack Kassian would be a 4th liner that comes to mind. Plays with a few screws loose, so he adds an intimidation factor (not a heavyweight though but he can fight) that emotionaless LE doesn’t provide.

JayDangles Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Honestly this list has helped me put Louis contract into a better perspective. Nice to know there are other team in worse or similar situations. Also, while his contract is bad now, when he signed it wasn't AS bad. A lot of those other contracts were really bad the day they were signed, and only got worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petet. Boeser Pearson Horvat. Miller Baer. Sutter. Virtanen Roussel Beagle Leivo Motte Who does roussel replace when he comes bck after his knee injury? He may struggle after mising the first few months of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
