But from an outsiders POV (which 99% of us, are), we only see what is on the surface:
- old track record
- current record in the tenure with the Flames
- quotes
There are some posters in this thread that seem to get very offended when these 3 are the metrics used to judge Feaster/Hartley...... which I don't get, cause thats all we really get.

I entirely agree. The only problem is when people look at part of the puzzle and say "this one piece speaks to everything, it's final." You can't really say that when pulling little pieces. There are contexts, situations, little things that really make it impossible for someone to surmise the philosophical position of a man based solely on what quote. Yeah, you can present a possibility, but you can't say "it must be this because he said this."
Just a bit of silliness is all.
I mean really, if owner's were stopping a rebuild, would it been better if Feaster said "I'm open to rebuilding, I'm just waiting until I'm allowed to do so!" It was going to be some form of sugar coating, how he verbally framed it is his business, but lets not put a whole lot of stock in one quote.
I mean, the guy talked about intellectual honesty and then refused the idea that we were rebuilding once we started rebuilding. And we're taking his words as gospel? Ight... I guess.
