Detroit Red Wings: It’s Time to Move on from Ericsson

The Detroit Red Wings have again been loyal to a fault with Jonathan Ericsson. If it sounds like a broken record that’s because the record is shattered and has been incinerated. Ken Holland has all too often attached “life-long” contracts to mediocre talent. Jonathan Ericsson is no exception.

After playing sparingly in his first two seasons of call-ups, Ericsson has been a regular in the Red Wings line-up over the past nine seasons. Detroit had hopes of a difference maker once they saw Ericsson play in Grand Rapids.

Believe it or not, Ericsson in Grand Rapids produced some offense.
