If Erixon doesn't sign then Brodie is the better prospect.

Very true. If he does sign though, Erixon is definitely the better prospect. He elevates his game when it matters, and has had success wherever he's gone.

After much internal debate I think I will go with Brodie.

I seriously hope it's Brodie. Erixon has great talent and will likely be the better player, but that cow-plop move by his family (and what seems like his willingness to go with it) really bugs me.

My opinion has changed...I thought Erixon was a better Flames prospect, but now it's obviously Brodie, after this whole situation.





Erixon is still a better player though, and probably has a better chance of being a difference maker, unfortunately.

My opinion of Erixon has dropped a lot. I really didn't think we'd have to let him go. Good on Feaster for getting a good return.

Still think Brodie will be the better pro player. Erixon likely would've gotten a bigger role in the future on the Flames than the Rangers.

Trading Tim Erixon away is another blunder by Flames management.

I the Flames are unable to sign top prospects they might as welll pack up and leave.

Wow. What do you mean it was a blunder? Erixon wasn't going to play in Calgary - he made that very clear. I don't think it had very much to do with Calgary - he wanted to go to the Rangers, a team his father has close ties to. He saw his opportunity and took it.

The Flames could have been stubborn and let him re-enter the draft, but even then Erixon likely would have been drafted in a higher slot and made more money - it was a no-lose situation for him.

He wouldn't have made more money; he was offered max dollars from the flames, and simply didn't want to be here. Getting drafted ten spots higher doesnt have any impact on his contract.
