As I have pontificated many times, the structure with Flames management is more broken then just Feaster, who's IMO a pawn and hired to be as such IMO, but a necessary pawn to at least do the deals we're seeing now.
Once these deals are done...we'll see. The PC on Wed will be interesting...and at some point with such an organizational clearing of the house, KK or een the owners need to address the fan base.

Feaster could be on his way out, but this team needs to be careful. The last time this team was rebuilding Al Coates was the GM and he had built up a decent group of youngsters that included players like Iginla, Regehr, Savard, Giguere, and St.Louis. Al Coates was moved out and Button brought in and this team ended up with very little, if anything at all, for Savard, St. Louis, and Giguere.
I know it looks bad right now, but if we bring someone else in and they get rid of another group of young players who turn out to be all-stars this team will be right back where we are now.
