Remember Ericson was given most of the PP time and Backes receives little to none.
When Eriksson was given it, he grabbed it and produced unlike the other one who did not. I assumed at least he would be the number one or two PK guy given his status in the Selke talks, yet that has not happened very much either. Mildly disappointed we did not grab a Dee for that price tag at the time and it bugs me even more with the return to date and going forward the next few years. So far I see Moore but we paid more.
Added for a non physical player Eriksson took more physical abuse in front of the net then any other Bruin I have seen in the last 5 years and then turned and put it in the net, he did so along the boards too. We miss that on the PP bigtime, no net presence, we do a bumper tactic basically and failed one timers.
Beleskey was a case of gambling on the one season and it turned out a lost cause, shame you win some and lose some. Maybe he gets his game back but I see him in a trade or walking for free, just does not have the wheels anymore, that was basically his game.
