Feaster took his best shot at Richards and he gets roasted by many for that move. It was a calculated risk as there was a close relationship between Feaster and Richards, Edwards bank account was wide open, they had an impressive pitch, the team came off a nice 2nd half run falling just short of the playoffs. At the end of the day it worked out for both parties. Richards went where he wanted to go and the Flames dodged a bullet of having a 10 year $70M contract on the books for a player who was 31 at the time.
That was a risk probably worth taking from Feaster's perspective and it was an exciting day on CP but it certainly was a long shot but those #1 C don't come along often.
