A recent example would be from those stating Feaster would have lost the picks, the signing bonus, and ROR to waivers had Colorado matched the offer as fact. This is no where near fact. Once Colorado matched, everything else became hypothetical.
We don't know locker room dynamics, we don't know trade offers that didn't progress to completion, we don't know teams that are exceptions to NMCs, we don't know coach and player issues, we don't know ownership directives, job interview results, draft interview results, scouting reports, accurate injury information. We know squat, and we consider ourselves to be the more informed fans by participating on this board.
I always get a kick out of how many different ways ONE line in a press conference can get twisted out of shape and context and used as a battle cry for months after. Or the "I can just see...." posts that regurgitate the same ridiculous outlandish scenarios that try to be funny CaptainCrunch style but they fail miserably. That is not a shot at CC, just an observation that many try to emulate your style of script writing and do a terrible job.
Heck many here still think a two way contract means you don't have to clear waivers! There is so much more to running this hockey team that we don't know, than we actually know. It isn't even close.

Yes there is more to the day to day things that we do not see. There is enough information available in internet, media, books and classes to figure out a lot of what gets done.
As for ROR, i dont care about the aftermath, the part that hurt is Feaster in his own words said ROR was an eilte center. He then tried to give him $6.5 million. Sorry but that is dumb and i thank the Av's for saving us.
There is plenty of stuff to evaluate Feaster on and you don't need to be in upper management to figure it out.
