What could Feaster say to fans by way of explanation?
"We had it on good authority the Colorado Avalanche would very likely match the offer. What I said about O'Reilly being a franchise player, was just bafflegab. Suffice it to say, we had our reasons for tendering the offer sheet."
Of course, he won't claim anything of the kind. But that's the only way he could justify such a clusterbuck of epic proportions.
