But in a difficult division that features the Stanley Cup finalists, and two teams quickly stockpiling elite young talent in Edmonton and Colorado, the Flames may have to work quickly if they hope to keep ahead of the pack.

Still, Feaster isn't afraid of making guarantees.

"We'll make the playoffs this year," he said.

“I’m sorry — Edmonton finished where last year, caller? Want to wager on where we finish relative to Edmonton this year? I’m tired of this question, I’ll tell you very honestly. I’m getting a little sour. How many teams . . . every year, for the last 10 years, five years, eight years, have finished in the bottom five, bottom seven, bottom 10? They’ve had a pick anywhere from No. 1 to No. 10 year after year after year after year, and they still wander in the desert. And they’re no closer to getting out than they were 10 years ago. You know what? I look forward to the Battle of Alberta for the next X number of years. If the idea is, ‘Burn it to the ground,’ then Ken can find another manager to do it.”

The Calgary general manager’s exact words were: “If we don’t show a whole lot more urgency heading into Monday, you (media) guys will be busy as it relates to the goings on in Calgary.”

“It’s our veterans that haven’t come to play in the last games,” Feaster fumed. “That’s where we have to talk about intellectual honesty. If our play isn't trending to be a playoff team and we have to be honest and have to look to marshal some assets … Our vets need to carry us and we need more from our veteran players.”

Next two games before the deadline?
5-4 OTL, 4-3 OTL

The result? No moves at the deadline.

According to the Kontinental Hockey League's website, O'Reilly - who was unsigned until Thursday night - played for Metallurg Magnitogorsk on Jan. 21 and Jan. 23 (written in the game sheets as 'Rayan O Rayli'). And as NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly told TSN on Friday, O'Reilly would have had to clear waivers to join the Flames if he actually played in the KHL after the start of the NHL season on Jan. 19.

"Feaster was also excited to re-sign Comeau, particular given the circumstances of the signing.

“We actually talked about a two-year deal with him, and to his credit, I like this, he said ‘I’m better than what I showed [last year]. I’ll take a one-year deal and I’ll prove that the 24 [goals] wasn’t a fluke.’ Whether that happens or not, that’s not the expectation here, but I just love it when a player puts that on himself.”"

Am I missing anything else?
