Instead of Comeau, Iginla and Bouwmeesteer being traded, it should have been King, Feaster and Hartley getting canned. Hartley proved to have no ability coaching defence at the NHL level, Feaster has made many questionable moves that show he doesn't really get how to build a team. Modin, Begin, Sarich and McGrattan are all perfect examples of that.

He's a dice roller. He's shoots for ROR even though it could have wound up costing a king's ransom and even the player himself. He goes for Brad Richards and holds a press conference on his near catch. He drafts out of the most obscure highschool in the first round... he's throwing haymakers, but he has no technique, no master plan.

King is the one who has allowed the Feaster regime to get comfortable in their all-talk-no-walk management style... It's funny. I used to dread the thought of someone like Brian Burke as GM. I thought he'd be too much in the media and not enough in the game. But that's Jay Feaster.

It's pretty disappointing. Feaster's nepotism costs us every time. Ramo, that seed hasn't borne any fruit. We really could have used him this season and he opted to stay in Russia, as he may very well continue to do. Modin (already mentioned) and Hartley. Their just demons from his past. He's not thinking about the game objectively at all.

I think a better GM would have got Iggy to sign off on four teams, and let them bid until the deadline. If the Bruins think they have it, then they don't, and you don't give them a chance to up their bid, you don't know how to start a bidding war. In the end Feaster says it was Iggy's decision, but generally that's not how it works when a NMC is waived. None of it makes sense.

Calgary is a hockey savvy city. It deserves a hockey savvy management team. King/Feaster are salesmen, I'm tired of being sold this crap.
