The guy is up 31 million and that last 5 million will be a real kick to the nards to the team who PAID (happy?) him 31 million bucks. If I was in that position, I would retire with all that money instead of likely riding a bus for a year What bus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Slegr Posted September 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) What’s strange with Eriksson is that he actually seems satisfied with his play as a Canuck. His comments to the media last summer seemed to indicate he felt he deserved more ice time based on the quality of his play. Most people in his position would probably have trouble sleeping at night, recognizing how his salary and below average play have hampered the team. I just wonder if he’s a bit delusional at this point. At any rate, I don’t think I’ve ever been so irritated by seeing any other Canuck continue to play games for the team as I do with Eriksson. He is an anchor, and I hope to God that our GM finds a way to ditch him this offseason. Edited September 18, 2020 by Slegr 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blömqvist Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Eriksson to New Jersey for Schneider, then buyout Schneider. Add a small sweetener (mid-round pick, B-level prospect) if needed. Both Eriksson and Schneider have the same cap for the same amount of years; however, Schneider is owed $12M for the remainder of his contract whereas Eriksson is owed just $5M. There would be $7M in cash savings for New Jersey. A Schneider buy-out costs $2M/yr for the next 4 years, which would give the Canucks $4M in cap savings for the next 2 seasons, followed by a $2M cap hit for the following 2 years. If the Aquilini's could stomach a buy-out in a COVID/flat-cap world, it would be a great solution to clear $4M in cap for the next 2 years without giving up a big asset such as a first round pick or a top prospect. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that $3 million in actual salary he gets paid in his final year, he could pay for a limo & driver to shuttle him around the East coast out of his own pocket & still be up a couple million.

You get some contracts that are sweetheart deals (like only having to pay Pettersson on Hughes the ELC Max) and you have contracts that turn out to be poor value. Quit acting like its more than that. What are you going on about? I haven't said anything about value or anything like that. You are the only one saying that. I approached this from the personal level, and you keep talking about the business side I'm saying 31 million for 5 years of work is more then enough for him and his family to live off for the rest of their lives. Realistically the next year would probably be rough if he needs to leave Vancouver and uproot his family. 5 million is more money then as of us will ever have, but this guy already has more money then he will ever need. Not to mention it would do a huge favor to the people he has spent the last number of years of his life with. Guy would know him suffering in the minors would also cause his team to be handcuffed. It's a loose loose for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate his compete level alongside his skill mixed with sand paper. We are not unloading a 1st round pick simply to rid ourselves of him. A trade is possible based on the info LeBrun shared in his article. Throw in a prospect a team likes and it could happen. (Just not one of our high end prospects). I'd throw in Jake to get rid of LE.
