[Trade] Flames acquire Roman Horak and 2x 2011 2nd rd picks for Tim Erixon and 5th rd pick

[GilmourforLeeman]

OK, it's official...someone start the "Rob Kerr, you suck and no one cares about what you say" thread..the worst is when he talks to callers and just speaks over them and makes stupid comments when he doesn't agree

hahaha complete 360 in this thread

I took that at face value as well - can't find any information about it at all.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

Good luck Erixon!

How can you wish that brat good luck? I hope he fails miserably!

Kerr said they don't have audio of the Press Conference, but Feaster will be phoning in on air after the PC is over.

They are a radio station still, yes?

I would think audio would have been a main focus for them.

Sarcasm. Since he can't make their team based on their depth.

if Staios signs for 700k or less and plays how he did this year, I would welcome him back as the #6/7 defenseman

oh, my bad

[Bill Bumface]

This is bull####. How are bad teams supposed to get better if the rules allow for their draft picks who look like they are worth a damn to just pout and decide they want to play somewhere with a better night life?

#### you Tim Erixon. I hope you suck.

Ya what the heck are they doing? I figured this would be a big story for them, being a flames radio station and all. How about getting someone at the PC instead of rambiling about how they never know whats going on at the draft?

No kidding...very odd.

Unless there is some sort of technical problem with being in the middle of reconstructing the PC area or something like that.

"It's important to the Calgary #Flames that we have players who are excited about being here & excited about being part of the program."

"We haven't had those 2nd round picks, we haven't had those 3rd round picks. And to be able to have 2 of them, I feel pretty good about it."

Read between the lines... Erixon did not want to be a part of the Calgary Flames

You mean being healthy scratched and playing like crap outside of a 5 game stretch?

Staios down the stretch when paired with Babchuk played very well... you need to actually judge players based on what they do instead of judging with blind hate
