We have Eriksson at 6 mil that we cant get rid of. Spooner buy out at 1mil Luongo cap recapture at 3mil and Sutter who I dont even know if we can get rid of either at 4.4mil who barely played 50% of the games since traded here.. that's 14mil in cap space that we have wasted Sutter's not dead cap and neither is Eriksson they helped us get to the 11th best pk in the league 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he has the audacity to show up in camp I hope he's booed out of the building. There is literally zero reason for this lazy piece of garbage to be wasting ice time that could be given to actual NHLers. Useless passengers are not welcome here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stawns Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 1 hour ago, PhillipBlunt said: Personally, I don’t see it. Players like Leivo and Motte play with noticeably more energy and effort than Loui. They both bring a physical game which is nonexistent with Eriksson. I don’t think he’ll be here come training camp. With all the changes to the roster, having Eriksson back would be disruptive. I'm fully on board with them moving him, best thing for both sides. However, the probability of that is very low, imo......in which case, he'll likely be in the lineup. Leivo is better in a top 6, even top 9 role.......but I think LE is better in a 4th line/defensive role than JL is. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when asked who the unsung hero was the year that he was a member of Team Canada at the Worlds, three players stated that Chris Tanev was. The names of those scrubs? Brendan Gallagher, Mark Stone, and Connor McDavid. wasnt Mcdavid one of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fourth liners usually work hard, aren't cowards, and don't have huge attitude issues. LE is a terrible fit on the 4th (or any) line. Leivo at least knows his role and isn't one of the softest pansies in the history of the sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might not be worth $6m, but he's still a decent player in a defensive role 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry , but LE is worse than useless at any price. The days of soft cupcakes infesting our bottom six with laughably poor efforts are over. I'd be ok with allowing him to compete for a spot in the press box in camp if he hadn't beaked off to the media and made excuses for refusing to put in the necessary effort to actually belong on an NHL team. Green should have sent him to the press box far more often last year because the entitled waste of a uniform still doesn't understand that the way he plays the game is simply unacceptable. Even inviting this locker room cancer to camp is an insult to all the players who actually give a damn and conduct themselves like professionals.

He's going to get blasted whenever it's remotely close to relevant, and it's entirely his own fault.

That covers a LOT of bad players! I'd take Eriksson over like, Isbister or Jeff Cowan! Or Pouliot xD (Yes I know Cowan was a Canucks legend) Then again I don't think Isbister or Cowan had a 6M payday but you know, inflation and all that etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
