Pretty much a guarantee.
Wasn't trying to dispute that it didn't happen - I honestly couldn't remember if he said it or if had been interpreted that way.
And for the record I agree saying stuff like that is dumb.

Yeah it's dumb because you can't take it back and if you don't live up to it you lose credibility. Being bold and brash only flies if you can back it up. I like Jay Feaster the person. I really do. I wouldn't have any issues with him doing Kings job as say president but IMO he's just in over his head as NHL GM. I know he won a cup but he basically took over the team Rick Dudley built and rode it to a cup and a lot of the decisions he made after were awful like letting Khabibulin leave and not adequately replacing him, poor drafting, poor trades, terrible contracts, etc. If your GM is only as good as the guys he's surrounding himself with then he probably shouldn't be a GM.
