How much did he re-sign for? You called the first one...
I'll take a guess - two years, two-way. $65k per in the AHL, $800k in the NHL. Bit less than his last deal. He's the low man on the goaltending totem pole.
800k professional!? y2k says you know your **** but i think you're bonkers.

Nux farm team goalie Joe Cannata's deal is a two-way: $600,000 at the NHL level; $80,000 in the minors. #Canucks

So our goalie situation is, at current:
Miller
Lack
Markstrom
Eriksson (is he still on contract?)
Cannata
Demko
Have to assume either Markstrom or Eriksson are gone (Markstrom via waivers), or that Lack is traded. But it would be a little worrying to have either Markstrom or Eriksson backing up Miller.
And Benning can't hold onto Markstrom just because he was a piece of the last regime's Luongo trade. He has to move forward without that consideration, and if Markstrom is not good enough, he has to go.
Yes, Eriksson is still under contract for another year. $925k at the NHL level, $70k at the AHL leve. He's an RFA after that.
Eriksson is a good goalie. Very streaky though. Will go from red hot to cold all the time. Cannata is a good stopgap for that. I doubt either make the NHL though.
Eriksson struggled early on adjusting to the different angles of the North American rinks. After he figured things out he almost singlehandedly took the Comets from the 30th place team in the AHL to the playoffs. If the season were two weeks longer I think he could have done it. The Comets were one of the lowest scoring teams in the league but with solid goaltending manged to finish 3 games above 500. Don't count Jochie out when it comes to making the NHL someday.
