But I will admit, I'm still surprised we got as much for Erixon 5 minutes before he would go back into the draft.

I guess I would say to things to that thinking
1) If you can avoid other teams whispering in his ear, that is a good thing. Even if Calgary was preferred, you never know once people get talking.
2) Its probably more of a relationship game. Be nice to FLA when maybe you don't have to in hopes of keeping in good terms. A 4th is a small price to pay for good relations. Might be helpful when acquiring #2
