Trying to fix the team

While I think the deal is right value wise, I don’t think Carolina is the team that takes on Eriksson.

It took a 1st for Carolina to take on a single year of MArleau's 6mil.. Since Loui has an extra year it'll probably cost extra..

Penguins aren't doing that, and the same goes for Oilers and both the Avs trade. They can pick Tanev up inn free agency, no need to pay to get him. Markstrom's contract is an actual nightmare, and Gaudette, Virtanen and even Stetcher are making too much (as of now). The Eriksson deal seems to be the proposed deal on most Nucks ACGM, but Carolina needs some cap space (Svechnikov contract).

And that is really the issue with many teams in the league. They all have their own varying levels of cap issues and with no CBO's no one is likely to help another team without major compensation.
