Who knows what will happen with COVID, of course. Some owners may wish to cut costs if their other businesses are hemorrhaging money.
Then the other issue is cost. Toronto paid a 1st for Carolina to take and buy out the last year of Marleau’s contract. What would it take to get rid of 2 years of Eriksson?

hopefully less than that 1st becuz in real dollars, most of that loui contract is paid out already.

I mean, he's still owed $5M as his $3M signing bonus this year should've already been paid out ... but they'd still be paying him $1M this year and $4M next year ($3M if they buy out his contract) with a $6M cap hit.
Hypothetical here: Let's say Eriksson's contract expired at the end of this season and the team considering him is neither going to spend to the cap nor be at the floor. Would you consider a 2 x $2.5M contract to be a good deal?
Ultimately, any team with an internal cap that isn't the floor is looking for bang for the buck. Eriksson still isn't offering up what you'd want for $2.5M.
