No he'll be on a two way contract and the way I understand it, only one way contracts count against the cap during the off season.
The only thing I can see the contract being held up for is that Erixon wants big bonus money but the Flames will want the bonus money low so they can fit him in under the big club's cap. If his bonus is too high, than they will have to send him to Abbotsford. If Feaster explains this in the negotiations, Erixon could balk as he may want the bigger money and a spot on an NHL team even if it isn't the Flames.
