#25's #s: 8 games, 0 goals, 2 assists, +2, 0 PIM.

Take the bad: Tortorella plugged Eriksson into the lineup at the expense of Hobey Gilroy, rather than the real problem on the blueline, Wade Redden. Gilroy would have benefitted from playing alongside the calm Eriksson and the team would have benefitted from being without the turnover-prone, soft albatross Redden.
Take them both and then we have: Another great trade by Sather. Too bad Glen is incompetent when it comes to signing players because he has been quite adept at dealing them of late. Eriksson is good fifth or sixth defenseman or an exceptional seventh-defenseman to have around. Seeing as Ryan McDonagh is staying in college, Corey Potter is poised to move on as a UFA and the team has shown no trust in Mike Sauer, Ilkka Heikkinen and Bobby Sanguinetti, keeping Eriksson another year is a prudent option.

great trade? are you joking? the guy was on waivers the day before...could have just picked him up for free. A prospect and a pick was way too much to give up.
