I was hoping for Ericsson to not have a great attitude and not reporting, or for him to just practice and ride the bus, like Cleary did

This does not surprise me. Yes, he has to ride a bus and make some other sacrifices, but he's playing the game he loves and getting paid millions to do it. Plus I bet he is really looked up to in the locker-room. I'm glad he's making the most of it.

I mean he still gets his full salary and gets to play hockey and log a lot of minutes and have a big role with this new team. Mentor like figure both on and off the ice for younger fellas. Idk. Could be A LOT WORST. He's fine. I'd be the same way honestly. Be a leader, act like a professional and he'll get his money. Possibly a Calder cup.

I think the only concern here is that he's taking away ice time from prospects.

At the same time, kudos to him for being a professional.

he was a decent 5-6th for many years. physical. too bad he was used higher up and got paid too much.
I loved when guys much smaller would outwork him in the corners.

Hmmm, can't recall him hitting guys either.

Did have a couple fights where he looked good.

Was great at screening his own goalie, and deflecting pucks into his own net.

yeah he was not someone who hit, but he was physical with his stick.
