I am saying he should have called their bluff. I, unlike many others, am not a big fan on the return we got. We basically got three assets that may or may not ever play in the NHL for a guy that is likely to be in the NHL next year. Its obvious Erixon wanted to play in New York and Rangers wanted him too. Call their bluff and see if they fold, I think Rangers knew he they couldn't get him at 15 and I don't think Erixon is any position to risk where he ends up, what if its Edmonton or Winnipeg who drafted him. I am not saying Feaster Completely failed, but given that he had 4 weeks to gauge Erixon on a entry level contract, he certainly dropped the ball to a certain extent.
