Well this kid is actually the type of prospect the Flames don't have a lot of - a skilled forward and a guy they probably saw a lot of. I imagine this would have come from a recommendation from the scouting staff. However pretty clear he's a boom/bust type of guy - which is fine.
Two 2nds and a prospect is a lot better than a late 2nd.
Just a cruddy situation overall though - not sure where things went sideways - but when you look at the history of Erixon's agent - this stuff has happened before.
Move on - make some quality picks with your 2nds and see what happens.
