As I said I don't think that Erixon acted in good faith and he didn't want to play in Calgary (or in all likelihood anywhere but with the Rangers) but the Flames didn't give him any reasons to want to play here. I think that this is a loophole that the NHL should look at and perhaps bargain with the union by increasing the years from 2 to 3 or 4 that a team has to sign a player but I doubt that the union would agree to that.
