He isn’t going anywhereunless they attach some serious assets to him .... and no Juolevi or Tryamkin isn’t near enough.

Eriksson is going to finish his six year contract here. Why would he walk away from 4 million next year?
Wonder what LE's take home pay is with 13% deferral, 20% escrow, agent % and income taxes taken off, I read that Crosby take home pay from $8.7M AAV is now $2.572 million. (It's more than that as his salary is $9.6M, still that's a huge chunk of cash gone).

Nonetheless I foresee LE being calm/cool/collected and playing in Utica collecting checks, just like Andrew Ladd and Alzner.
Saves the team $1.075M in ever so precious cap space.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

He’s not walking away from 4 million for the 21/22 season

Never say never. He may reflect on the loathing he hears on social media and flock on home to Sweden to stay.

So apply this to Loui, and his $1 million salary this year:

-20% to escrow: $800k
-13% to deferral: 770k
- income tax brings him down to $398k to ride the buses for this season in Utica. Doe he have too much pride for that?

Or worse case scenario, buy him out this off-season, save $2 mil in cap next year with only a $1 mil hit in 22/23.

I will say, I fully stand behind Benning's decision to not attach anything to get rid of him. Just get through this upcoming, messed-up COVID season, and regroup from there.

He earns 4 mill for each of the 2 remaining seasons then start reducing. The team get a 1 million dollar reduction in his cap hit

I'm starting to think maybe Mr Aquilini isn't willing to sign off on sending Loui to Utica. It's a lot of money to be paying someone not to play on your team. I think what we might see is Loui perma scratched watching all the games.

He isn’t walking away from 4 million owed to him in 21/22

Not sure why this is so difficult to understand

Doc I’d love it if he packed it in. But I just don’t see Vancouver getting that lucky. I think it’s wishful thinking and I think they are stuck with him. 4 years down, 2 more to go. His entire career here has been like a death march. If he does stay I hope they don’t play him more than 29 games over the next two years.

You'd be a much happier person if you had any semblance of optimism Doyle, just sayin...

I’m a Canucks fan. The Air Thief isn’t going anywhere. He will play out the string and probably sign an extension once his current deal expires
