Given the comments made in training camp, it seems that Ericksson-Ek is going to get buried again in the depth chart. The organization isn't that high on him (they are trying out Donato at 2nd line center) and he has struggled to adapt to the NHL. He could have used a season or two in the AHL, but that ship has long passed. He has a modest cap hit, and if he does break out (and it's a big if), he could be a solid 2nd line center. He has shown some skill in the AHL, but that isn't saying much since he only played 18 games.
Given that Fletcher drafted him and that the Wild now have Guerin as our GM, I was wondering if the Flyers or the Penguins wanted to take a chance on him. As for the Wild, be better to trade him now before his value tanks even more.
