Jeeze. Like him, hate him, think he's a dummy, think he's a genius, regardless of what you thnk why do people fail to realize that Feaster is an NHL GM, and when he takes the podium, he's working. And tops on his list of things to accomplish while working is not to appease CP and the fans in regards to details on his plans. That is a much lower priority on his list than the following; keeping a player like Glencross who is still a Flame happy and to feel wanted, as well as posturing for future moves with GMs.
If you honestly believe that Feaster didn't even "listen" to deals for Glencross after taking 25+ phone calls, then you are smoking something. All that means is people called, they weren't even close to what it would take, so he didn't give it any serious consideration.
Full transperancy for the Fans is a stupid idea for a GM to do, keeping players happy and positioning yourself for future moves is a good thing to do. Accept you'll need to read between the lines when our GM speaks, this is not a situation unique to Calgary.
