Value of: Loui Eriksson to Ottawa

[SeawaterOnIce]

My neighbor once offered his trash to me because his bin was full. I kindly told him no.

I imagine the Sens would do the same here.

But he doesn’t have to pay any of that if Ottawa doesn’t acquire Eriksson. There’s no incentive for Ottawa to acquire Eriksson unless there’s a significant sweetener attached.

Picks arent really what we need either....

They need to make 19.5m or so in cap to reach the floor. The incentive is to only spend 1m to get 6m of that. Your teams RFA's are not owed enough of a pay raise to make it up. After than you don't need to fill that many more spots(like what 3 or 4?) You guys will need to get creative in attaining that cap without spending real dollars to do it.

Oh, so we’re back to the old “let’s send Ottawa our bad contracts because Ottawa needs to hit the cap floor” are we? Ottawa will hit the cap floor without Loui Eriksson. Don’t act like you’re doing us a favour. We don’t need your garbage. If you want Ottawa to take Erikkson, start by offering us a first round pick for our troubles.

EM still needs to also get fans back into the building eventually ,or he is sunk...Maybe this time we get players instead of artificial cap

I would agree, except the Sen’s owner is Melnyk. And we all know he needs to save pennies. In Loui’s case, that’s (700000000) a lot of pennies.

Might work if he had one year left, but two years isn’t ideal in any way.

Two years is even better for Melnyk. He saves more that way. Then, the league will be generating profits. In a very sick way Loui
Erickson (puke) has value.

Again if he does this ,he will likely torpedo any hope for his fanbase to ever return,not to mention what BT will think when he goes into negotiations...EM needs to use his cap space to gain players to make the team better,even if its to get to the floor

Acquiring LTIR contracts makes more sense for Ottawa rather than picking up a guy like Eriksson. At least a guy on LTIR won’t take up a roster spot that we’d rather give to a young guy.

Highly doubtful you’d get much that route... most teams would just place that player on LTIR then. I know, speaking from a Canucks perspective, our owners are ok spending money (freely). But maybe another team would entertain those options with sens.

At the end of the day Canucks are probably stuck with eriksson. We may just send him down to the A to save a tiny bit of cap space. Maybe worth exploring trades on last year of his deal. Find a way to make it worth Seattle’s while to take him.

Eriksson(25% retained) 4.5M + 2021 3rd for Reilly + Stl 6th?

Ottawa saves 750k this season in real cash, reason for the 6th rounder. And takes on 3.25M next season in cash, reason for the 3rd rounder. Over the two years Ottawa increases their cash out by 2.5M which isn't a lot over two years and hopefully by 2021 there's fans back in the arenas.

We aren't just giving him with nothing. Adding a player like JV gives an NHL forward with good advanced stats and just put up 18 goals in 69 games. If you look at the most comparable trade value, Kapenen just got a mid 1st. Some other pieces were moved, but nothing significant.

 

[HoseEmDown]

No incentive for Ottawa to do this. A conditional third to take on Eriksson for two years? That’s a no from me dawg.

What do you expect to get if you take Eriksson a 1st? Don't see that happening, maybe a 2nd at most. But including Reilly saves you guys cash next season and if there's retention you don't owe him as much the year after and his cap hit isn't taking up a ton of space. Eriksson could be like Namestnikov was for you this year a depth player playing tough minutes and then be flipped at the deadline. Except you have to wait another year before you can flip him.

You already proposed this earlier. Why post it again?

 

[KevinRedkey]

Demko and Eriksson
for
Hogberg and Balcers

Because it's such a good offer.

HAHA!!! No, it’s not. It’s f***ing garbage.

thing is we really don’t need Ericksson to play tough minutes or any other kind of minutes for us next year. He’s a cap dump taking a roster spot from one of the young guys coming in this year and next year, we already are short on roster spots.
Glue a 1st to him and maybe someone bites.

You realize someone has to play defense and get paid, Reilly makes 1.5m so I don’t see the enormous savings you’re offering there.

Who's on the 4th line next year besides Anisimov? You really don't want to put guys like Balcers, Brown, Batherson or Formenton in that spot. Let him and Anisimov get the defensive zone draws, PK and tough matchups to let the kids get the easier and offensive minutes. If you move Reilly for him and he has retention you could be just taking 3M in cap, you had Namestnikov making that last year and Eriksson can have the same role. If he retires instead of coming to Ottawa you get a 3rd for free basically. I can't see Vancouver adding a 1st to move him at least not this offseason.

Here’s a thought. Why don’t the Canucks just keep Eriksson? Ottawa doesn’t want him and they don’t need him. Try making a fair offer and maybe someone will be interested. We don’t want your third round pick to take on this player.

Guys like C,Brown Tierny,Paul etc are likely the base for our bottom 6...We have an pretty big list of kids that need time at the nhl level,we really dont need to clutter it up with an over priced bottom 6 player right now...Picks we have in spades,as do we have prospects...Ottawa will likely look to move picks as they have 7 in the first two rounds this draft

 

[Peter Griffin]

The Canucks really don’t need to move Eriksson for next season. They’d be better off looking into moving Sutter and Baertschi who should both be movable with some retention or small sweetener.

Eriksson & Beagle and 1st plus 2nd... you ship both in Belleville after
