I always look at Tom Erixon as the gift that keeps on giving.

We were forced to trade him to NY ...along with a fifth rounder.

Feaster states that because they didn't have a fifth rounder in the 2011 draft, that it was 'now or never' when they selected Johnny.

Imagine if Erixon never demanded that trade. Imagine if we still had the fifth rounder in 2011. Imagine if Feaster then decided to wait one more round before selecting Gaudreau. Would he have still been available at that pick???

Thanks Tom!
