The Stig
Your hero.
Im surprised we didn't have one for him yet.
So what do we expect? What number is he going to wear?

I expect strong 2-way play and 55-60 points.
My personal hope is that he is played with Horvat on the second line, to give us some scoring depth.
He'll probably incentive Sutter to let him have #21. Eriksson has worn 21 with Dallas, the Swedish national team and Boston. Sutter has no real connection to #21 other than 20 games last season. Sutter wore #16 with Pittsburgh and Carolina, but that's obviously not available here.
Ironically, once I buy the team (through a court-ordered sale on humanitarian grounds), I will unretire #16 and then retire #21 to give Jyrki Lumme his due. I will then also retire Jim Benning's #4 to place it front and center in the arena as an eternal reminder, kind of like a war memorial.He'll probably incentive Sutter to let him have #21.

60 pt guy for 3 seasons and then slowly decreasing that total.

I'll be surprised if he doesn't hit 0.75 ppg
Guessing 25 goals, 30 assists for 55 points.
Canucks should be very concerned about both Sedins and Eriksson....all over-30 and will have to be on top of their games for the World Cup of Hockey just to start the season....then there's the grind of training camp and an 82 game schedule to follow....if they stay healthy and productive all season, it'll take a miracle.....and without those three guys on top of their games, team will be done.
