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.

Misinformation? Does the abysmal record of the team this season not speak for itself? The way he made the team small and easy to play against only to do an about face and say the team now has to get bigger? Has Feaster not put his foot in his mouth multitple times as Flames GM? Has any of Feasters trades or signings (as Flames GM or Lightning GM) shown strokes of brilliance that would provide fans with some comfort that he's the man to see this rebuild through? His Brad Richards trade was awful as were his drafts with the Lightning. Most believe he didn't get enough for Bouwmeester or Iginla. I'm not saying he's the worst GM ever but I simply haven't seen enough positives over his 2.5 seasons to feel overly positive about him making big decisions in what is a critical juncture for this franchise. The right moves could see this team relevant again in a few years. The wrong moves could sink this team back to the depths of the mid-90's when they were hopeless year to year.
