Some of you guys are hilarious. Feaster almost fills the absolute biggest organizational need, something the Flames haven't had in well over a decade -- a young, top flight centre, but somehow it was a bad move?
The fact that the Avs matched should tell you everything you need to know about O'Reilly. They didn't want to let him go, even for our 1st rounder (and 3rd) in a deep draft.
I fully commend Feaster and his staff for actively trying to make this team better. This could've been a huge addition for the Flames and made our future and present instantly brighter. I'm sad the Avs matched.
