In this case, given the franchise player, absolutely the owners need to be informed and involved, Flames or otherwise.
The problem is, in the Flames case, its looking fairly evident that King and the owners to a lesser extent have their hands in the more day to day situations, and Feaster is simply the conduit for doing the nuts and bolts of what King and the owners plans are. IMO.
Hotchkiss kept Edwards down, but with his passing, Edwards took over and took the control away from Sutter and the shift you see was on. Feaster rolled with the punches, as he would for a guy trying to hold onto a position in the hockey world.
IMO.
