Bolded players left of their own accord. I don't think that's a feather in his cap when they were all his original signings in the first place and all were mostly terrible in their time with Calgary. Edit: Except kipper, obviously.
Italicised players were moved in a lateral move to rid the team of a terrible contract that feaster signed for one that was perhaps slightly less terrible. Lost the trade in terms of players, came out slightly ahead in contracts.
Underlined players moved for somewhat questionable returns, with a protocol error from Flames management contributing to that questionable return being forced to take a lesser package from Pittsburgh.
That is a substantial reach to find feathers for Feaster's cap.
