Literally the Flames hands were tied. Either the Flames could trade him to the NYR for far less than he is worth, or Erixon can be a poopface and refuse to sign a deal, and the Flames are compensated with even less.

Sounded like he was ready to go back into the draft if not traded to NY. The crap part is that NY would probably picked him at 15. Of course with our backs to the wall, NY did not have to offer their 15th, they held the cards.
