Vancouver Canucks place Loui Eriksson on waivers

The Vancouver Canucks have placed forward Loui Eriksson on waivers.

The veteran winger was placed there Wednesday morning after only appearing in one game this season.

According to The Athletic’s Thomas Drance, the move was done to reset the waiver exemption clock on Eriksson.

Eriksson, 35, has one year remaining on his $6-million contract.
