So what is the report card now on the Eriksson OEL trade? Eriksson would have been finally off the books (I think) ... but Canucks now have OEL at $7.2M till 2027?
Is Eriksson playing anywhere? What if Canucks would have just sat on Eriksson's contract till the end?

I know I had a big reaction of negativity when it went down and someone criticized me for being ok with throwing away another season and just wait for most of those bad contracts we traded to Arizona to come off the books. Well we ended up not making the playoffs still lol. I didn't know who Connor Garland was at the time of the trade and he definitely softened the blow a little bit but the OEL part of the trade was always nuts for me and is still now. So report card is not good for me anyway.

Honestly I feel like Horvat tied management’s hands on that trade a bit? He very publicly stated in the media he wouldn’t be sticking around unless changes toward winning happened and I think that message got into the heads of people… and Benning went nutso instead of just letting all that bad money expire.
I don’t think OEL is terrible, but he isn’t worth his salary… and all the totally movement proof term it comes with. Garland would stick out a lot more on a team with less top forwards, but it’s hard for him to pick up appropriate playing time with this forward group.
If OEL can regain some form I think it won’t be so bad
I was happy when the deal happened especially after all the BS the season before about trying to get him etc. but Jim should have definitely worked out some cap retention. Even if it meant retaining some of Eriksons for a while

This is it for me, not looking at money OEL isn't too bad and on our team probably looks even better cause our overall D is pretty bunk. That said, we have to look at money and he just ain't worth it no matter how you slice it.
