You are lecturing Flames fans on a prospect that is clear you actually don't have the background and context on. I'm not saying that your overall criticisms towards the organization don't have merit - but the Ramholt example is a poor one.
and even if it's all true it would be bizarre that Erixon is holding the current Flames management to account for a decision made by Mike Keenan on a Darryl Sutter managed team (to a Craig Button drafted player)....all since fired

the Flames have done lots poorly in the last few years, but it still seems fishy (if not highly unusual ) for a prospect not to sign with a club based on the actions of a previous regime

it just seems much more likely that Erixon's motivations were otherwise (although sure if the Flames were an elite club firing on all cylinders he might have had different thoughts)
