I hope they give Erikkson more of a shot at the top 6 and PP. He is one the best 2 way forwards on the team and should play in all situations, 20 min a game.
Maybe he has a rebound year offensively and we can turn him into a good return at the deadline.

Rebound.....?
I'm being somewhat sarcastic. But he was a stud last season on a crappy third line and was one of the best wingers not playing with an all star in Bergy (referring to Marchand.)
So, if we are looking at what return Marchand can fetch us................
Why would we be looking to also turn around and cut ties with Ericksson, our best winger this season by a million miles.......?
That's a rhetorical question for Sweeney and Neeley not you.
I love Ericksson as a player. I went form really like-to-love from the start of the season three games in.
If we were to trade him, Bergy would be burnt out and injured within a dozen games.
What "most" of us seasoned fans have said about Connolly, Belesky, and Hayes is slowly becoming a reality to "everyone else."
This team has Bergy, Krejci, Marchand, Pasta, Ericksson, and spooner as solid top nine forwards. most of the other players have been given up on by there past teams.........
Remember last season with the "dead weight" comments? We changed the names but the players "seem" to be the same. Too many "role" players not enough skill........for this system.
