On February 27, 2012, the Vancouver Canucks transferred him to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for Andrew Gordon . After the Swede had played neither for the Californians nor for their farm team, the Syracuse Crunch , he returned to his homeland in June 2012 and signed a two-year contract with Timrå IK. This was dissolved in April 2013 and Erixon moved within the league to the Växjö Lakers , with whom he won the Swedish championship in the 2014/15 season . The Swede has been under contract with league competitor Färjestad BK since April 2015 .
