It looks like Loui Erikson's future is up in the air. The once highly touted prospect who was drafted 33rd overall by the Dallas Stars in 2003 could be playing elsewhere next season.

According to Arizona Coyotes Hockey Insider Cody Morgan Loui Erikson is expected to be pursing a contract to play in Europe next season.

The 37-year-old Swedish forward despite not reaching his full potential still had a very good career playing in 1,050 NHL games between the Dallas Stars, Boston Bruins, Vancouver Canucks, and Arizona Coyotes.
