I don't mind it and it makes to do so.
If Hansen can maintain his 20g-40pt pace on Sedins, and Eriksson was already known for his line carrying ability. In fact, this is why we signed Eriksson. He's able to create something by himself and for his linemates.
We should be able to expect a 25-30 goal, 50-60point from Eriksson.
And of course, like many other have mentioned already, they can always unite the Swedes during crunch time and on PPs.
This way it will allow the kids line to perform better with less pressure and matching.

Re: 2016 Training camp
Hansen with the twins was horribad, WD eventually went back to the Sedins-Eriksson pretty quick and all was good.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

That was only one game. Hansen and the twins literally carried the Canucks last season...SKYO wrote:Hansen with the twins was horribad, WD eventually went back to the Sedins-Eriksson pretty quick and all was good.
Re: 2016 Training camp
Come on Willie- we need a goal, 60 seconds left, goalie pulled, the opposition just iced the puck and have been out there for over a minute chasing the Sedins and Eriksson trying to get possession:Hockey Widow wrote: Seems if we need to score late in a game he will load up but otherwise.....
Dorsett - Gaunce - Virtanen to the resuce.

Skille will be the extra forward, with Larsen and Sbisa manning the points.micky107 wrote:Don't forget Skille.vic wrote:Come on Willie- we need a goal, 60 seconds left, goalie pulled, the opposition just iced the puck and have been out there for over a minute chasing the Sedins and Eriksson trying to get possession:Hockey Widow wrote: Seems if we need to score late in a game he will load up but otherwise.....
