I didn't hear him on the Fan, but there's an interview with him on the Flames' website, and he doesn't sound concerned about getting it done. It sounds like they were waiting for his season to be done, which it finally is with the Worlds being over. I'd think that with the CBA and ELC rules being what they are, it's not too tough to sign a first round pick -- just give him the rookie max and figure out the bonus structure that works.
Also, based on what Feaster said, it sounds like both Erixon and Brodie will be given a real shot at making the team, and he said that they're looking at drafting someone this year who can be looking at cracking the line-up by the 2012-13 season.
