It was just an example of a club that has for the past 6 years had a very poor track record with young players. I think that Erixon just wanted to play for the same team as his dad and that was likely his favourite team as a child and handled the situation poorly at best. But at the same time the Flames need to give young players a reason to want to play for the organization - something in this case at least it appears that they didn't do. I hope that the Flames make something out of the two second round picks and use them to trade up in the draft and select an impact player for the future and don't squander them. This is a weird trade in which the Flames lose and win the trade at the same time.
