#1 Loui Eriksson

Loui Eriksson is a versatile winger who could play on the left or right hand side. He was drafted 33rd overall by the Dallas Stars in the 2003 NHL entry draft. He has signed four contracts so far with a total value of $66,875,000 million.

He’s spent 16 seasons in the NHL recording 613 points in 1,050 games played including 14 playoff points in 44 games played.

He last played for the Vancouver Canucks where he signed a six year, $36 million deal. That included a cap hit of six million per season.

Oh wow another error. Last season he actually played for the Arizona Coyotes. Ugh. I didn’t want to make this a thing with all former Coyotes but here we are.

He had three goals and 16 assists for 19 points in 73 games. Not bad and definitely better than his final season with the Canucks where he played in just seven games.

In addition he also played for the Boston Bruins. He spent seven years with the Stars, five years with the Canucks, three years with the Bruins and last season with the Coyotes.

Honestly I think the Caps are good and don’t need to sign anybody to a PTO. Unless, of course, they decide to bring back Jay Beagle. Then I’m all for it.
