JB is down to trades and it’s going to cost 1rst and 2nd round picks for the next few years to package salary and get a roster player back There’s no way LE is in the top six. He plays in Utica or goes home. If he pushes for the remainder of his contract, he runs the risk of becoming the second most hated Canuck of all time after he who will not be named. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) Is there any reason why Benning can’t just waive Eriksson now? Worst case scenario is he clears and is still a trade chip for his cap vs salary benefit. Sends the message to him though.

Devron Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I’d really like to see this guy signed 3 year deal 12 million. Probably unrealistic but In a perfect world I’d like to see that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send one of Aquilini’s henchman to make him an offer he can’t refuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could...but just like Tampa with Johnson there is 0% chance a team would claim him and the season is months away so no real point. They can tell a player via phone call, text or email that he will NOT be on next years NHL roster and it is up to him if he wants to terminate contract/retire or ride a bus or just sit at home eating edibles and munching on nachos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eriksson at 1.5 mil is a good bargain contract. Good pker still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think his salary would count toward the cap.. could be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah for sure no way Pearson isn’t in that spot, let’s just hope Jake steps up playing with Bo usually ignites him a bit.. I’m a fan but still nervous.

I'm not one of the Loui haters but now I'm wondering if he really vetoed a trade last year. If he did, I'd like to kick him in the crotch; One for the money, then two for the show! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
