The layers are starting to come off the onion.
The fact that King is outright throwing Iginla under the bus is poor form the day after.
The Flames got two similar offers, Iginla understood they were pretty close as far as return and picked Pittsburgh. Simple.
Given the state of the powers that be, I trust Iginla's pick of team and offer as better, just because Feaster preferred the other one.
For the second straight transaction, the Flames organization had "regrets" on administrative issues....on a transaction in this case they new was coming for a month or longer.
Plain and simple, Edwards and the owners HAVE to see that this dynamic is disfunctional at best, even if they are part of it...and if this was CNRL or any other company that Murray runs or has run, and his immediate reports were lousing things up and not working together, they'd be moved out of that position.
King's acquired too much power for the one ice situation...Feaster said what he needed to say to get the job full time and also knows that he better do what he's been told (but that's not meddling, right?) or he'll be once again blogging for The Hockey News as he did when he got hired as AGM.
A strong hockey personality running things from top to bottom, is the only way to prevent this from continuing, or, getting worse. Owners have to take a step back too.
