There really hasn't been enough of that at all but different people will believe what they will.
Still doesn't change the fact that he made bad trades and signings that it is hard to believe he was forced to make and if he is so weak to get forced to do things he doesn't believe in and then go on and on about how it is his plan then do we really want someone like that running the team?

As long as the goal was to keep Iginla in a Flames jersey, and keep him happy (ie bring back buddies like Tanguay and Cammaleri, not give coaches the green light to punish vets), and make the playoffs, then there could be no rebuild.

No reason to believe that was the plan by anyone other than Feaster.

He said he wasn't hired to rebuild? Well, Flames ownership weren't going to hire anybody to rebuild the team. Not so long as they held to the delusion that an Iginla-led Flames could squeek into the playoffs and then anything could happen.

No reason to think any of that is true at all.
