He also said they will try to take advantage of teams with cap issues next year. Who knows maybe there is a Rick Nash for depth guys type of trade available. Why pass that up?

Why should posters calm down from one Feaster speech? He has said the same things in the past and done the exact opposite, ie trade clauses, getting bigger and younger.
The take advantage of cap issues is a pipe dream from Feaster. Other teams are going to buy out crap players not the future young good players.
Even if Feaster's plan is to go after RFA players on other teams, he is not alone. Other teams with cap space will do the same. In order to get those players he will have to make trades and the flames don't have any cheap prospects other than Sven and Brodie to make it happen.
I guess he could go the offer sheet route with the RFA's ,which would not be a bad idea for him, considering it looks like other GM's take adavantage at his negotiating skills during trades.
