Exactly.
Bunch of BS. Even Feaster said he went to great lengths to appease and disprove the concerns being laid out, and it didn't make one bit of difference. They had their minds made up (the whole Erixon clan, see my posts earlier in this thread) and wanted Tim to make his way to the Ranger organization to play with his cousin (and Skelleftea teammate) and to play where his Dad did.
Nothing was going to make Erixon sign a contract with the Flames.
Good riddance.
