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.

That was only one game. Hansen and the twins literally carried the Canucks last season...

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:

Dorsett - Gaunce - Virtanen to the resuce.

Skille will be the extra forward, with Larsen and Sbisa manning the points.

No real surprises, but a little disappointment.
In not particular order, compare that to last year:

F: Sedin, Sedin, Hansen, Sutter, Horvat, Baertschi, Burrows, McCann, Prust , Vrbata, Virtanen, Cracknel , Dorsett

D: Edler, Tanev, Hamhuis, Hutton, Sbisa, Weber, Bartkowski

G: Miller, Markstrom

Injured: Higgins

Out: McCann, Prust, Vrbata, Cracknel, Hamhuis, Weber, Bartkowski, Higgins
In: Granlund, Eriksson, Gaunce, Skille, Rodin, Gudbransen, Larsen, Tryamkin, Biega
