Vancouver Canucks fans are already saving up for down payments on playoff tickets after the team got one of the biggest names in free agency in the offseason.
Vancouver Canucks acquisition of Loui Eriksson made a big splash when he was signed on the first day of the free agency frenzy barely after the opening clock struck. The big left winger has scored 20 goals in every full season since 2008 and had 30 last season.
Eriksson has played internationally in the past alongside Daniel Sedin and Henrik Sedin and they seem to be clicking in the World Cup of Hockey so far with big Loui chipping in three goals in their first two preliminary games.
