It’s been three years since the Vancouver Canucks handed Loui Eriksson a six-year contract worth $36 million, and nobody needs to be reminded that it’s been a poor investment thus far.
Now in his third season with the Canucks, Eriksson has totaled 32 goals and 74 points in 188 games here. General manager Jim Benning was hoping that Eriksson would “be a consistent 20-goal scorer.”
Eriksson hasn’t come close to justifying the rich contract since coming to Vancouver, and some wonder if the Canucks should try to move him in the offseason.
