This is pure BS.
The Flames had a full year to know that Erixon wasn't going to sign. I will bet they had shopped him all over and the NYR came up with the best offer possible.... 2 2nds and a prospect is not something you have to offer when the Flames option in 30 minutes would be a 2nd pick.
The most the Rangers had to offer if they were the only team in play was a 2nd and a 3rd or 4th. The Flames would not turn down a free 3rd round pick on principle.
Runblad signed a full year ago
