Of course this could have been a blindside by Erixon's agent to make sure only the Rangers would have been in the picture but still Feaster could have been more prepared for this.

Agreed these are all unanswered questions but I also believe that Erixon has been a priority and only recently did the Flames realize it wasn't happening.
The fact that he went to NY suggests there was one team he wanted and one team only.

Bottom line: If top undrafted Euro prospect (Erixon), who doesn't HAVE to go to NHL, wants to squeeze team (CGY), call his own shot, he can.
