I mean, I was personally thinking that they should send him to Utica anyway to see if it makes him walk. Or ask him to submit a no trade list and then send him to whichever AHL team is closest to one of the teams on his list. Or at least threaten to do that. Might make him try to earn his wage a bit if there’s no takers.

My guess is that Vancouver will eat up to 50% of his contract in order to move him.

You would have to think so , they only save a bit over 1 mill cap sending him down so retaining even 50percent would be a plus for them cap wise

Eriksson for Lucic is going to happen. It’s not much different from what Kessel to Arizona was before it actually happened.
After July 15th, Louie is paid his bonus. His actually salary is only 9M over the course of the next 3 years, which might be enticing for cap floor teams, aka Melnyk

Nice guy, tries hard, loves the game.
Hey look! The first logical post I've seen on HFboards all day.

It’s not going to be one for one but it’s going to happen. Remember when Lucic talked about how much he would love to play for Vancouver? That doesn’t just happen by accident or coincidence.
Canucks are trying to clear 1 or 2 contracts. Not take on a worse one.

We got Ferland, now on top of every other negative we had prior to Ferland....his "edge" and physicality hold no sway for us.
Lucic at 50%, Russel or another single year cap dump, a first and two seconds for Eriksson.

Vancouver is going to trade him $6M for 9 goals

It may have once upon a time (i.e. a few months ago), but not now.
The Canucks sole purpose for moving Eriksson is to clear cap, so that they can start building a long term savings strategy to re-up the following players:
-Boeser
-Markstrom
-Pettersson
-Hughes
-10.5M on a top pairing defense (either re-upping Edler and Tanev when their contracts run out, or finding their defensive equivalents).
Not as bad as other deals in the money owing department.
Due $9 million over the next 3 years. I should be interesting if they decide on picks heading out the door
or prospects to get somebody to take him.

Just becuase Lucic told a Vancouver radio station that he would like to play in Vancouver doesn't mean it's going to happen. The Canucks would be better served sending Eriksson to the minors than taking on Lucic's worse contract. Guaranteed the Canucks are trying to send Eriksson to budget team that views Eriksson's "favourable" cap hit to salary ratio and he's dragging his feet because he doesn't want to waive for a non-playoff team.
I can see a Erickson for Looch trade. Holland gets his Swede and Benning gets his 2011 Bruins replica deeper in a rut.
Exactly this. Looch”s nmc and extra year kills everything. He can’t be demoted to the ahl.
