It seemed fairly possible at the time to a lot of people that the Flames pick could be top 5. The current situation isn't much different than the situation then except now there is more complete information. It's not like O'Reilly would have been the missing piece to stop this from happening.
Feaster should have waited before making that move and I am just thankful it failed.
