When the Sedins retire in a couple of years they won't be anywhere close to salary cap ceiling anyway. So the Eriksson contract is probably not going to be a big issue long term. I can see the eventual rebuild lasting at least 5 years before they have a chance to be any good, by that time the Eriksson contract will be over. It must be a terrible feeling to be a Canucks fan right now.
