The thing that is most annoying is how Erixon feels hes gods gift, and can go wherever he wants.
To play in the NHL is not a right, but a privilege, and to be picked by a team in the 1st round he should be humbled at the opportunity to come to North America, and play hockey. Im sure New York was his favorite team growing up, just like all the drafted players had favorite teams growing up. The likelihood of them being drafted by that team is not good, but you don't see them pouting or crying because they got picked by another team. Does anyone actually believe Iginla as a child sat there dreaming of playing for the Flames? Hell no, he was dreaming of wearing Oiler blue. He got traded to the Flames, and has represented us with class, and for all intents and purposes wants to finish his career as a Flames.
Erixon is a punk for what he did, and I hope he pays, and pays dearly. Piece of crap. A person like him does not deserve to be in the NHL.
