Quote on that? I'm pretty sure he quit because his autonomy was shrinking by the day, supplemented with the hiring Lawton as VP of hockey OPS making him a superior and his boss and forming a trifecta committee(with Koules and Barrie) on hockey matters. Feaster was a sitting duck, who was probably embarrassed by the mockery made out of his position.
He's shown he has no problem offering huge money to players over long deals, and a guy that as a captain had a cup and scored 200 points in 2 years whilst only missing a game is about as close as you're going to get to a player that could justify a massive contract. Things obviously soured after the deal for Vinny, but he was the franchise's(and league's) Jordan according to their owners before they drafted him and he was paramount in making anything out of the Lightning anything resembling a success in TB.
