Seems far from meddling in day to day hockey operations.

It is odd to have a president court a player by himself but I will say at the time Feaster was still relatively new to the team and King and Glencross may have a solid relationship so it may have made sense for them to hash out the contract. It was probably the best contract the Flames have signed any player to in recent history so not a lot to complain about. However if this sort of think is common place then it's definately different than how most teams operate.
