Trevor was a hand puppet president. He was a name and a face and not much else

If a guy like Lombardi or Holland came here they would have a fuck of a lot more clout than Trevor had in Vancouver

Pettersson on what he learned, "It the NHL, it's where I dream of playing. The schedule is so tight, you have to take care of your body between every game. That was the biggest adjustment for me b/c in Sweden we had a lot more time between games." #Canucks

Loui not liking his deployment.

March15 to Swedish media -
Eriksson has received less and less ice age since coming to Vancouver and has gone from being the brothers Sedin's partner to playing in a more hidden role this year.

It obviously not a fun situation as it has been this year. It has been tough, having to play on the third, fourth line ...

In other teams, I have had a rather prominent role, played a lot in all situations and been involved in the offensive. This is another situation in the team now, especially this year, but also last year. It is not that you do not go out and try to do their best in the role you have, you play hockey because it is fun and you do their best when you are out there.

And today Loui Eriksson re-iterated his stance on his role on the team.

"My role changed a lot this season and I just tried to do the best I could in the situations I was in.
It's a good group here and it's fun to watch these young guys come up and play as well as they did." - Eriksson

When a calm, quiet guy is saying these things it's Antonio Brown levels Swedish style frustration.

Side note, Canucks iirc are 11-0 when Loui scores, undefeated.

I think he's frustrated, managements frustrated, coach Green doesn't give AF, to me that signals a NTC waiving.

I'd say Eriksson playing with coach Julien would do wonders for him.

If Green put Loui with Beagle and Motte for large stretches of the season to force him into waiving, that's, well, impressive? Put him with Horvat for the last 10 and tell partners -- that's the real Loui....

Loui Eriksson värvades till Vancouver för att vara en framträdande spelare och i år är han lagets bäst betalda. Utvecklingen på den kanadensiska västkusten har varken blivit som svensken eller Vancouver velat. Det bidrog till att Eriksson var petad i Vancouvers hemmamatch mot New York Rangers i onsdags.

– Det är självklart tufft. Jag tror aldrig jag varit healthy scratched(petad) tidigare, det tär på en. Men man får köra vidare och jobba på tills man får en chans igen.

"Ligger där jag bör"

Eriksson har fått mindre och mindre istid sedan han kom till Vancouver och har gått från att vara bröderna Sedins radarpartner till att i år spela i en mer undangömd roll.

– Det har självklart ingen kul situation som det varit i år. Det har varit tufft, fått spela i tredje-, fjärdekedjan och med tanke på det tycker jag att jag ligger där jag bör poängmässigt.

10 mål och 22 poäng på 70 matcher är något som general managern, Jim Benning, inte ser som godkänt.

– När vi signade honom väntade vi oss att han skulle göra runt 20 mål per säsong. Det har han inte gjort och det har varit en besvikelse, sa Benning tidigare i veckan.

"Annan situation här nu"

Svenskens istid har på två säsonger dalat från ett genomsnitt på nästan 19 minuter per match till 14 minuter. Även spelet i powerplay har sjunkit.

Eriksson utvecklar sitt resonemang kring petningen så här:

– I andra lag har jag haft en ganska framträdande roll, spelat mycket i alla situationer och varit delaktig i det offensiva. Det är en annan situation i laget nu, framför allt i år, men också under förra året. Det är inte så att man inte går ut och försöker göra sitt bästa i den rollen man har, man spelar hockey för att det är kul och man gör sitt bästa när man är där ute.

I natt var Loui Eriksson tillbaka i Vancouvers laguppställningen och fick en mer framträdande roll, tillsammmans med Bo Horvat och Nikolai Goldobin.

– Det var inget svårt beslut ta med honom igen, (Antoine) Roussel är borta(skadad). När du tar in en petad spelare i laget igenom vill du ha respons. Jag har satt Loui och Goldi(Goldobin) med en av vår bästa; om inte den bästa, centern för att på respons från båda.

Med 12 matcher kvar av säsongen säger Loui Eriksson att det viktigaste är att laget vinner matcherna.

– Vinna är de viktigaste man kan göra och självklart spela bra i den rollen jag får.
That is for Per.....
