My guess: Feaster/Weisbrod and Burke's rebuild plan didn't fall in line, where burke wanted to make some big moves but feaster/weisbrod not on the same page.
I'm glad that burke is a USA hockey guy, as i would have been concerned if this impacted Gaudreau's view of CGY. Got a sense he had a good relationship with feaster/weisbrod.
Anybody else think the flames will be in on any phanuef rumours  ? |
My issue is that there is the same sense of a distinct non-identity in the Flames that has been there for YEARS. Is this year better? Sure. The kids have heart. Does that mean our direction is good? Not really. What direction? Youth? Well, that's generally what happens in a rebuild and there's really not much other choice in the matter.
I just don't see Feaster as having done anything above average. Ever. He's filled holes without much thought and created them without much thought either.
