From Friedman's article, this summs it up perfectly for me:

First, there was a near-fiasco with the Ryan O'Reilly offer sheet. Now this. Iginla held the hammer, so it shouldn't be a surprise Calgary didn't get Pittsburgh's best prospects.

But I'm a big believer that the best organizations work like the perfect machine. No matter what happens, no matter what curveball life throws at them, they adjust almost seamlessly. You might be working like crazy behind the scenes, but, in the public eye, it's all cool.

That's not happening in southern Alberta. Nothing seems to occur without controversy or confusion. You can't have that, especially now.

Feaster's the front man, so he gets the blame. That comes with the job. But, is it deeper than that? Is this an organizational issue? Is it something or someone the public doesn't see?

These are important questions that need to be answered. This is the future of the franchise
