Ever since Alexandre Burrows started to decline, the Vancouver Canucks have been in search of a new partner for the Sedin twins on the top line. Radim Vrbata signed up for the job in 2014 and had a successful year recording 31 goals and 63 points. However, things got much worse in 2015-16 and Vrbata was let go as an unrestricted free agent. Now Loui Eriksson was brought in to do the job, but the Canucks could be far better off playing him in the middle six.
There is no doubt that Eriksson is an elite scorer.
