Injury Report: Canucks 2017-2018 Injury Thread

So Eriksson joins Edler on the injured list.....but that's what happens to players over 30....the injuries start piling up....Sedins are really the exception rather than the rule. But that Eriksson signing has the potential to be the worst UFA signing in team history.

The conventional wisdom was that Eriksson would score at a decent pace early in the six year deal, but that Canucks would have to accept a drop-off by the he hit 35.....but can you imagine now what that deal will look like by then?....Egawd!

It’s a stupid contract, I hated it at the time, I didn’t want Ericksson on this team, wasn’t a fan. But how he got that Home run of a deal is beyond me, I doubt any other team would’ve offered that deal or anything near the term he got, Benning and Linden look like dumbass with that contract. Although I don’t wish injuries on a player, I can’t say I’m not glad that this means Boeser and Virtanen should be in the lineup.

that contract cost me 5 dollars. said benning wouldn't do it. was camping and the bet was would the canucks sign loui eriksson. got reception up on a hilltop and flooded with TSN updates.

Actually a shame Eriksson is out. He was showing all the people who said he *had* to score more than last year that, no, he does not have to score more. Now his injury will be used as an excuse by management and some fans for another year of terrible production. At least they can’t use the “he’s a notorious slow starter” crap anymore.

They were dead set on hitting a huge home run with Stamkos or Lucic, and when those guys wanted nothing to do with this gong show they just kept throwing that stupid money at the next guy on their list until Eriksson was the guy who couldn't turn it down. Probably couldn't believe his luck.

Addition by subtraction

No excuse to keep Jake out now. At least you notice him

Jim is so dumb he paid Eriksson based on a season where he played in literally the best spot for a winger in the entire NHL--alongside Marchand and Bergeron. Did that factor into Jim's thinking at all? I honestly think that level of analysis is beyond him.

Missing 4-6 weeks means there's no way his counting stats won't look awful at the end of the season. Will he get 10 goals? What a contract, just amazing.

The truly ludicrous part of that contract was that Eriksson was considered a complete dud in Boston for his first two years there (and hadn't been very good in his last year in Dallas either) and was being talked about as a cap dump for the Bruins in both the summer of 2014 and 2015. Then has one good season with elite linemates ... $36 million. Morons.

I don’t think Loui is a bad player. I was a big fan of his in his Dallas days. The problem is that we are a horrible team, with our only true playmaking Center (Henrik) in steep decline. Bo is more of a bull that rushes the net, but not a playmaker with vision in any sense. After that we have nothing. Not here or in Utica.

So how is a player like Loui supposed to succeed? It still all boils down to management/Jim for not realizing that and signing him anyway. Just throw more crap at the wall and see what sticks philosophy.

Exactly not here or Utica - but what about sweden? The other day people were saying that Petterson will pretty much be Backstrom.... so all we have to do is wait a few years, bingo bongo and we'll have Petterson, Dahlen and Loui all tearing it up together. All Sweidish line = too cute of a sentiment to not be excited about . It's going to be great - get your season tickets now.

Ericksson out huh.

So much for bounce back season.

Sigh, was so hoping that we wouldn't waste another 6 mil.

you get 4-6 week knee injury, and you get 4-6 week knee injury, f*** it everyone gets a 4-6 week knee injury.

We need to mix it up with some Sami Salo variety on the injury report.

 

[NoShowWilly]

and Tanev clock is stilling ticking.

Looking forward to see who we trade for a dman.....

we have the depth this year to avoid that. It isn't great but these players are in the depth positions to come up. 9, 10, 11s.

The league needs more snake-bites, dang it!

Like broken testicles to spice things up a bit.

 

[denkiteki]

I was expecting 8-12 weeks so yeah its better than expected... but bad timing with 2 of our top 4 down at the same time (for basically a month together). Have to imagine we're going to start looking at the waiver wire for the next month... (time to link every D on waivers to us as soon as they are waived...).
