This is a desperation move in a series of desperation moves. If he won't turn the page then the conclusion should be: fire him.

As much as I'd rather rebuild, the ownership group is not going in that direction. The general manager (Feaster) is a reflection of this and firing Feaster just means another is brought in with the intent of competing. Given that this is the path that the Flames are taking, I really think Feaster has done a solid job.
All firing Feaster will do is result in another GM coming in and doing the exact same thing. I think Feaster's trading and general re-tooling of the management group has been a huge positive for the club.
