Interesting articles and perspective.
What is frustrating me at his point is the complete lack of comments from the league. Considering the firestorm that this has generated, and the bad light that it has shed on one of the league's franchises, the league needs to clarify: either come out and establish that the Flames did in fact err, or come out and admit that they didn't.
I would suspect that the silence is a result of the fact that the league is uncertain and is scrambling to establish their position.
Again, if the Flames are in fact wrong, heads have to roll.
If it turns out they weren't then the league needs to step up.

I don't see why heads have to roll, unless Feaster didn't clear this with Murray Edwards first.
After all, Murray is a very good lawyer, an NHL board of governors member, and has intimate first-hand knowledge of the CBA negotiations and the spirit of the agreement. If Feaster didn't consult him, then he very well might be fired.
If Murray was on board with the offer, then there's an excellent chance this would have rubber stamped though the NHL head office if Colorado failed to match.
