Stealth tank

36 pts in KHL isn't that bad. Hope he signs.

Who else can we get from the canuck coaches, gm, trainers, bus drivers?

JB's son is a pro scout on our payroll...

Im disappointed in you, you were one of the few voices of reason after the shink nuclear meltdown.

Hope he's gotten a lot better since he couldn't make the Oilers defence last season.

Hmm, maybe a 5th is too much then, should given a 2018 7th

Considering how Jokerit's payroll is less than $8M, I'd say you give him a one way deal and he's financially obligated to sign

Signing reinforcements for AHL playoffs? The 5th is a conditional one for 2017

Oh I was being sarcastic/ filling in for Ballstein. I don't care about a late round pick in 2017.

Good point. Perhaps it's just a free evaluation and a boost for Utica. Followed by a try out at training camp. Seems like a fine low risk gamble

They probably dont offer a contract until this summer... can only have 50 and college FA season is on the horizon

Well if they're planning on losing several contracts with recycling day on Monday, maybe they still have room to add some depth in that somewhat-experienced-but-not-over-the-hill range.

They've posted their Craigslist ad and are perhaps already spending the money?

from Eklund's Blog:
"The Bruins have had very serious talks with the Canucks on Eriksson, but also would love to keep him...right now my sources are still giving a slight advantage to an extension...but anything is still up in the air."

God I hope not that would be the opposite of selling

I hope Trevor Linden decides to come out of retirement

Another 5th round pick gone. I don't know enough about Larsen. Seems like a step back towards a rebuild and a step forward towards a hybrid rebuild

Let's not panic here boys. We can regain if he doesn't sign. Any step towards improving our bottom 4 D is good lol.

This guy is probably going to a 7-8 type of guy.

Eriksson will not be a Canuck. I assure you. It seems quite clear the "Lets get younger" mold has finally hit home with management.

Only way they get that piece of glass is if Ownership forces it. In which case Benning and Linden really have no business possesing the names of their respective positions.

He's Danish.... let's hope he's best friends with Boedker which will help us sign him in the offseason.... i don't see how Larsen helps us in any other way.

38 points in 54 khl games. Finished top 5 in D scoring. His offensive numbers are good throughout his pro years. Scouts are saying he lacks physicality but is very smart with the puck, good first pass and is a very offensive defenceman

Ugghh the 5th round pick becomes a 4th round pick if he surpasses specific offensive numbers. (frank)ing benning.

If he hits solid numbers in the NHL, isn't that worth a 4th?

EDIT: would have liked to see, if he doesn't it becomes a 6th.

Don't see the move but again wait and see. He is a RHD . I guess JB likes his game better that the UFA bottom RHD. Need to wait and see what impact if any . 26 yrs old

Sarcasm? Where is your sarcasm face ( )

If he surpasses specific offensive numbers, that would mean he came over for tryouts, made the team, played well, scored points....these are all good things that far out-weigh a 4th round (slim to no chance of turning into any of the above mentioned).

sorry if that comment really was sarcasm and i'm over-doing it.

I take it back, meet Weber's replacememnt
