You're all over the place.

1. Feaster wasn't in charge in 2008, that was Darryl Sutter
2. Feaster was exposed for not being intellectually honest the year he coined that phrase (2011-12 I think)
3. Feaster only sold off when basically forced to because of Iginla's UFA status

I mean I don't hate Feaster but the guy stuck his foot in his mouth several times in Calgary. He coined the phrase intellectual honesty and he went on record saying he wouldn't be the GM of a rebuild and then he was forced into rebuilding but wasn't intellectually honest enough to start it when it should have been started. I mean you can't call him intellectually honest if you followed his time here closely, I don't see how you could.
