Chiarelli is a clown and a spoiled brat. He knows full well that any agreement with Feaster (assuming their was one at all) was dependent on Iggy's aproval. He's just trying to do damage control now, because he let his main competitors, the Penguins, walk away with the biggest fish this trade deadline. His actions this morning have been totally unprofessional. Especially coming from a GM with a history of gauging other GMs.
I'm tired of this expectation of courteousness from the Flames. It does not seem to be, in any way, a two way street, from players or the other GMs. The NHL is big business now, you treat a negotiation like business.
Chiarelli played a game. He lost. He should move on in a professional manner. He came to his senses with the press conference, but the comments from earlier in the day should not have been made by someone in his position.
