Versatile defenseman Erixon hopes to stay put with Penguins

DETROIT — Tim Erixon has played 93 games in the NHL, so it’s clear he can contribute at this level.

He would just like a chance to do it in one place for more than a few weeks.

Erixon began the 2014-15 season with Columbus, but was traded to Chicago Dec. 14. Toronto claimed him off waivers March 1, then shipped him to the Penguins in the Phil Kessel deal July 1.

Erixon already had been with Calgary, which drafted him in the first round in 2009, and the New York Rangers, so he has spent much of his career packing his possessions and shipping them around North America.
