Eriksson, Jay Beagle, Antoine Roussel ,the ninth overall pick in Friday night's Entry Draft, a 2022 second-round pick and a 2023 seventh-round pick were traded by the Canucks to the Coyotes in exchange for Conor Garland and Oliver Ekman-Larsson on Friday, TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eriksson has just one season remaining on his albatross of a six-year, $36 million deal, and the Coyotes aren't in a position to compete in 2021-22, so they've essentially decided to take on several ugly short-term contracts while sending Garland and Ekman-Larsson to Vancouver in order to acquire the ninth overall pick in Friday evening's draft. Eriksson appeared in just seven games with the Canucks last season, tallying one helper over that span, and it isn't clear if he'll have a regular role with Arizona next year.

Eriksson was assigned to Vancouver's taxi squad Wednesday, Patrick Johnston of Province Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eriksson will head to the taxi squad in order to make room for Jimmy Vesey, who was claimed by Vancouver off waivers Wednesday. Eriksson has picked up one helper in seven games this campaign.

Eriksson was activated to the active roster Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

This makes Eriksson eligible to play in Saturday's game versus the Oilers. He has just one assist in five games this season, so he's not likely to make an impact even if he's in the lineup.

Eriksson was designated for the taxi squad Thursday, Farhan Lalji of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

In a corresponding move, Jayce Hawryluk was promoted to the active roster. Eriksson has rotated in and out of the lineup lately, playing five of the last nine games and adding an assist. The 35-year-old can continue practicing and traveling with the team while on the taxi squad.

Eriksson recorded an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Eriksson intercepted a pass in the Canucks' defensive zone and fed Brandon Sutter, who quickly sniped the puck into the empty net. Saturday was just the second game of the year for Eriksson, who has mostly been limited to the taxi squad and healthy scratch duties this season. The 35-year-old winger should be in the mix for a bottom-six job now after the Canucks snapped a six-game losing streak Saturday.

The Canucks waived Eriksson on Wednesday, Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

No one is going to want to pick up Eriksson's $6 million per year contract, so expect him to be assigned to the taxi squad after passing through waivers. The 35-year-old winger made his season debut Saturday against Toronto, going scoreless while posting a minus-2 rating in 9:16 of ice time.

Eriksson has been added to the Canucks' active roster.

EDGE Analysis

Eriksson was just dropped to the taxi squad Thursday before being promoted Friday, so this may just be a procedural move. The 35-year-old winger has yet to crack Vancouver's lineup this season.

Eriksson was assigned to Vancouver's taxi squad Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Eriksson will swap places with Justin Bailey, who was added to the active roster in a corresponding move. The veteran winger has yet to draw into a game with the Canucks this campaign.

Eriksson was recalled from Vancouver's taxi squad on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The 35-year-old was demoted to the taxi squad prior to Thursday's contest against Edmonton after being a healthy scratch on Wednesday. Despite moving up to the 23-man roster, Eriksson is still likely to be a healthy scratch more often than not this season.

The Canucks shifted Eriksson to their taxi squad Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Eriksson stayed with the club after being waived Monday, but he didn't suit up in Wednesday's opening clash with Edmonton. The veteran will likely be a common presence in the press box this season, as he was replaced by Justin Bailey on the 23-man roster Thursday.
