Not defending Feaster, but could it be that management team is a little bit understaffed/overworked? Looking at all the major fails, it feels so:
1. Not checking rules on ROR waivers issue. Just didn't have an extra pair of eyes to double-check it.
2. Not recognizing Cervenka is a winger. I don't believe Weisbrod or even scouts are so incompetent that they can't tell a winger from a center. You don't even have to watch him, his center/winger thing was explained in his interview. Didn't seem to have an extra guy on the management/scouting team to dig the issue.
3. Didn't get Iginla's list in writing. Once again didn't have an extra mind to think it through.
It just feels like too much information flowing through too little braincenter thus creating rudiculous oversights. Again, I'm not trying to defend Feaster with this by any means and I don't know how big is Flames management team compared to other franchises.
