Loui Eriksson doesn't mind the pressure he'll face this season as the centerpiece of the trade that sent Tyler Seguin to Dallas.
"Maybe a little bit, but that's how it is to play in this game. You have to have pressure on you," said Eriksson. "I think everyone is ready for it and I just want to do all I can to prove to the guys here that I'm a good player." He knows that his statistics will be compared to Seguin's throughout the year. Eriksson produced 29 points in 48 games with the Stars during 2013's truncated schedule, but for three seasons in a row before that he topped 70 points each year. He is also looking forward to playing in a bigger hockey market for an Original Six team.
