I think Feaster will survive this, but that rope is getting short. That would have been a huge blunder and an embarrassment to the organization. The Gilmour trade and the Phaneuff trade would have nothing on this - a bad trade is still better than what would have happened.
I would bet the Flames start quietly shopping around for a new GM.
Seems the organization as a whole fails to do their due diligence. Feaster didn't do his before sending over that offer-sheet yesterday. Management didn't do their due diligence when they hired Feaster right off the bat, instead of listening to differing opinions and plans.
This should wake up the organization. I hated Feaster when he took over - especially the way he took over. Gave him the benefit of the doubt, and he did some good things. This, however, I think is inexcusable. Everyone who makes a big mistake a work expects to get terminated. This is no different.
