PhillipBlunt Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I wonder if he would have been given a PTO if Tallon and Quenville weren’t there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a solid bottom 6 guy still at the right price. He led Florida in hits last year and I don't see anyone really replacing his physicality just yet. They probably just wanted a PTO to see if anyone else can step up to the plate as they're close to the cap, so they need to decide if it's worth paying him and finding the cap space for him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I mean, he's a known quantity. He'll likely come cheap, play physical and not hurt the team too much in their own end. You can expect 8-14 goals and 17-25ish points. He's likely in the twilight of his career at 34 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I wonder if they're just doing him a favour and showcasing him for another team to pick up and provide some competition at camp. The Canucks have done similar PTOs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canucks have done similar PTOs. I think it's partly this. He was perfectly fine in a 4th line role for them last year, but was way overpaid. They probably are still in contract negotiations and this allows him to come to camp and if another team is willing to pay him what he wants, then he'll take it, but if no teams come calling, Florida likely gets him on a cheaper deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets go LE as the lead donkey of the UFA's of 2016, Lucic as the shovel man behind the donkey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody would be sad to see Eriksson simply retire though. Edited September 4, 2019 by aGENT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I remember being upset we didn't land him that year in free agency... Lol I think we got Loui instead? The top 10 free agents that year all got their bank accounts padded and all started being lazy, drinking, doing drugs, etc and no one really lived up to their hype 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida is a tough team to crack, I can see a team with subpar depth giving him a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
