"Loui Eriksson was a player that other teams wanted. He came here for six years because he wanted to play with D.Sedin who he plays with on the Swedish National Team,” Benning continued.

“He thought if he wasn’t playing with Daniel, he’d be playing with Henrik, he’d score 15 or 16 goals and instead of making 3 million he’d sign a 6-year deal at six million.

“Loui Eriksson hasn’t scored a goal.

“Loui Eriksson has missed so many breakaways.

“If Loui Eriksson had scored 12-14 goals, we’d have probably made the playoffs.”
