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.
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.
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.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.

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!you get 4-6 week knee injury, and you get 4-6 week knee injury, **** it everyone gets a 4-6 week knee injury.
We need to mix it up with some Sami Salo variety on the injury report.
