Treliving on 960:

contract opens up options in terms of development
ultimately Oliver is still under contract with AIK
by the terms of the transfer agreement Flames can sign him while he has a contract to AIK
If the Flames decide to assign him to AHL or WHL (i.e. does not stick in the NHL) he must be offered back to AIK because he is not a 1st round pick
Will participate in Penticton and main camp
Need to discuss things with people in Sweden to see where he ends up.
Will try and make best decision for Oliver's development

Thought he came into development camp and looked good
Elite skater but 18 years old
Needs physical development and development in playing in his own end

By signing him now, it gives Flames better options

Need patience
Fact they signed him today does not mean they are going to push him into the line up
He needs time
