Somewhere, Jim Benning, shocked, shouts “ALREADY?!”

thought he retired years ago

I'd say congrats but I'm a Canucks fan who saw "little things" completely mail it in after signing his retirement contract with us. Guys like him are not winners.

1x all star, 16 seasons, over 1k games but it'll always be this for me:

 

[Terry Yake]

used to turn into gretzky against the ducks in his stars days

Which is funny, because the first half of his career was the exact opposite.

Maybe he just mailed it in, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he had some chronic health issue that popped up.

Thirtysixmilliondollaritis. Side effects include being the last player on/off the ice in practise and putting pucks in your own net.

He didn't retire until now?

Shame that he is remembered by his poor play during his last few years.

Loui was elite during his entire tenure with the Stars. One of the better two way forwards in the game at the time.

I thought he retired the day after signing with the Nucks.

 

[Gorskyontario]

Terrible player compared to the money he made.

 

[rypper]

Generationally awful.

Last one to practice, first one to leave. In 5 seasons with the Canucks he didn't crest 100 points total. 6 million by 6 years.

His one saving grace was all the funny weird faces he would get caught on camera making.

I recall when he told the Swedish media that he blamed the coach. Vancouver was just floored when that got back across the pond - like he thought it wouldn't.

VM-forwarden om tuffa tiden i Vancouver: ”Jag och tränaren går inte riktigt hundra ihop”

Loui Eriksson är tillbaka i den svenska landslagströjan för första gången sedan World Cup 2016. Igår blev det två mål och succé i första landskampen sedan dess. Men i klubblaget Vancouver Canucks har Loui Eriksson haft det motigt. — Det är svårt … …

Loui Eriksson: 'Travis Green and I don't get on 100 per cent'

Loui Eriksson is playing for Sweden this month in international hockey. He was asked about his time in Vancouver.

Incredible player in his prime. Will be remembered fondly in both Dallas and Boston.

He gets a lot of plus points for being awful in Vancouver. That franchise truely deserved it.

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

The way he says “league” should be a crime.

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

Terrible player compared to the money he made.

...in Vancouver...when he was in Dallas, he was one of, if not the most underrated player in the entire League...

 

[wetcoast]

Funny as a Canucks fan my first thought was that he retired quite a while ago but still was collecting the paycheque.

 

[Scoripo Rising]

As a bruins & canucks fan, this was a wild career. Showed some bright sides in Boston. Decent player.

Was excited to see shat he could do in Vancouver. He showed NO effort, ever. Like 0. Just floated around doing so little it actually was amazing. For how bad he was he somehow didn't get a lot of hate around Vancouver for how bad he really was. People would just shake their head and say "what are you gonna do?" By year 2 people knew it wasn't gonna get better.

That 2016 free agency

hall-of-fame
For the biggest pile of sh-t in history

The amount of buyouts that came from that singular free agency is next level

It has to be the worst free agency class in history and teams acted like it was Marner or rantanen

 

[tarheelhockey]

This dude has been out of the league so long, his retirement picture is with a team that no longer exists.
