They really can't say much about O'Reilly because the league didn't make an official ruling and they didn't have any chance to appeal the official ruling if it went against them. Just because a bunch of fans on the internet assume Feaster screwed up does not mean that is the reality of the situation.
In what world do you think the NHL would have allowed COL to take our 1st and 3rd rounder and have FLA or CLB or whoever end up with O'Reilly? Do people seriously think they would have ruled that way? Total PR disaster all around. CGY would be mad. Every team higher on the waiver wire than the bottom team would be mad. They would have claimed something about the "spirit of the rule" or the MoU being worded slightly poorly and awarded O'Reilly to us.
I think people jumped to conclusions way too fast in the O'Reilly discussion. We never got the final word, the final ruling, etc. So its hard to claim Feaster is incompetent because of that.

You seem comfortable leaving alot to assumption, as a season ticket holder I am not. Question should have been asked, and then addressed by King, rather than pretending it never happened.
