I would say that the management of the team has only just realized that the team is in the dire straits that they are. As cavalier as the statements he makes are, I didn't get the impression that they think it will be a quick fix, but I also don't see them doing a St. Louis type rebuild that takes the better part of a decade and a ton of patience (which makes sense to me since the Flames aren't on as restrictive of a budget as St. Louis).

It doesn't sound like Feaster's job is remotely in jeopardy, which makes me concerned since most of his moves have been very disappointing.

Interesting to listen to though.

Just think, just a month ago we could have lost a 1st/3rd round pick (ROR fiasco)......
