1x all star, 16 seasons, over 1k games but it'll always be this for me:
Always thought this pic looked like something Caravaggio would paint.

Canucks should start a "Ring of Dishonor" for players like him.
Not surprised he thanked his agents so early in his statement. They were the ones who secured the bag for him

Seguin and Reilly Smith the only two players left from that seven player swap.....the others are all over in Europe.

To add to this, his top 3 scoring finishes are 19th, 20th, 23rd, which I think is better than most people would expect.
It wouldn't surprise me if you told me those were his 3 best years in Canucks points when contrasted against his teammates.
He was a lazy POS in Vancouver.
With JT Miller no longer on the Nucks, Loui lost the reason to strive for a comeback, sad but when the GOAT leaves, you gotta move on.

Every time someone mentions this guy i desperately try not to think of this picture first.1x all star, 16 seasons, over 1k games but it'll always be this for me:
I fail every single time.
Now now. Benning also gave Poolman 10m for 43 games played. Also Ferland got 14m for 16 games

Such an inconsistent career. Really enjoyed watching him during his Dallas years. Was never the same player after his back to back concussions in 2013, although he had a couple nice seasons with the Bruins.
At his best he was a very good two-way player and highly intelligent on the ice. At his worst he half-assed shifts and was ineffective. GMs seemed to really believe in him based on the contracts they gave him.

thanks for a good summary and a fair post.
I had no idea people hated Loui Eriksson until this thread.
Very weird to me - i hate dirty, prick players like Cooke or Torres. Can't imagine having the amount of hate in me that it would take to hate..... Loui Eriksson... a half decent, clean player who had a pretty good early career that fizzled out quickly and who the media, as far as i know, never promoted one way or the other.... weird.
Although, Kyle Wellwood...... oooof that little sob really makes my blood boil!!

Enjoy retirement Christian Bale lite.
If it isn't that pic above, I've always remembered he kinda looked like he could pass as Christian Bale's bro or something.
Ferland's career was shortened by concussions. Unlike some of the others, it wasn't for a lack of trying. IIRC, he career ended when he came back from a concussion, only to get another in quick succession by into a fight to defend a teammate.
I still have a soft spot for Ferdaddy and I thought his rise to the NHL was a great feel good story. He doesn't deserver to have his name thrown into the mix of guys that just mailed it in later in their careers.
