no i think they would have, he was the #1 guy going into free agency and with rumors that he wanted to play in western canada they were going in with a 33% chance... plus they used a pick they had acquired to move down in the draft, so it wasn't even a big deal to lose that pick in Sutter's mind
plus there is a huge difference between Erixon signing in less than 3 hours and Bouwmeester agreeing to a contract 3 days after being acquired.
