Matheson for Eriksson plus

Created by: alwaysnextyear
Team: 2020-21 Vancouver Canucks
Initial Creation Date: Aug. 5, 2020
Published: Aug. 5, 2020
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
If the FLA owners are really looking to save money this could be an option for both teams, as Eriksson is only owed $5m over the next two seasons. I'm not as familiar with Matheson but it sounds like some Panthers fans have soured on him quite a bit. Is he that bad? Would he upgrade VAN's blue line a little? Can he be a decent 2nd pairing guy after Edler retires?

Vancouver I think gets fleeced. Mathenson is horrible. His contract is just the icing on the cake

Interesting. Looking at last year's possession stats he's not great, but considering he gets way more defensive zone starts he doesn't seem that terrible either. I just don't watch enough FLA games to have a full picture of him.

Agree. This is horrible for Vancouver. Rather resign Tanev and keep 2 years of Eriksson.

So would you do Matheson for Eriksson straight up? Or still no?

Nope. 2 years of Eriksson is bad vs 6 more years of Matheson which is worse. Not even close, Matheson contract is bad

They’d shed a ton of salary in this deal. Eriksson’s only owed $5m cash over the next two seasons. It’s only the cap hit that goes up for them.

Wow, didn’t realize he was that bad. Because if he could be a reliable 2LD that cap hit is pretty good. But for 3LD it would be a lot for sure.
