Yup this was posturing and a game by Erixon and his agent to make sure he got to go to N.Y.

They kept giving different reasons not to sign and once the Flames would fix those reasons the would make up another excuse to keep the process going along.

It let things get to the last minute where Sather was able to call at the last minute and get the guy he wanted since the Flames were in a tight position. If he wanted to play here he would have signed the maximum rookie contract that he was offered.

This was a plan all along for Erixon all along and he played it perfectly.

F.U. Tim and Jay Grossman
