I LOL at all the people that said he’d be easy to trade. The useless piece of shit is owed 4 million in his last year of his deal. He isn’t going anywhereunless they attach some serious assets to him .... and no Juolevi or Tryamkin isn’t near enough.

Eriksson is going to finish his six year contract here. Why would he walk away from 4 million next year?

He’s not walking away from 4 million for the 21/22 season

Wonder what LE's take home pay is with 13% deferral, 20% escrow, agent % and income taxes taken off, I read that Crosby take home pay from $8.7M AAV is now $2.572 million. (It's more than that as his salary is $9.6M, still that's a huge chunk of cash gone).

Nonetheless I foresee LE being calm/cool/collected and playing in Utica collecting checks, just like Andrew Ladd and Alzner.
Saves the team $1.075M in ever so precious cap space.

So apply this to Loui, and his $1 million salary this year:

-20% to escrow: $800k
-13% to deferral: 770k
- income tax brings him down to $398k to ride the buses for this season in Utica. Doe he have too much pride for that?

Or worse case scenario, buy him out this off-season, save $2 mil in cap next year with only a $1 mil hit in 22/23.

I will say, I fully stand behind Benning's decision to not attach anything to get rid of him. Just get through this upcoming, messed-up COVID season, and regroup from there.

Not sure why this is so difficult to understand

Would you walk away from 4 million cash?

Doc I’d love it if he packed it in. But I just don’t see Vancouver getting that lucky. I think it’s wishful thinking and I think they are stuck with him. 4 years down, 2 more to go. His entire career here has been like a death march. If he does stay I hope they don’t play him more than 29 games over the next two years.

You'd be a much happier person if you had any semblance of optimism Doyle, just sayin...
