Yup. After the ROR screw up, Feaster was put on mute - you knew from that point on the clock was ticking. I thought Feaster had till the end of the year.

Now he can take things his direction. Will be very, very interested to see where he goes. Will he be GM or will he hire a guy? What does this mean for Hartley? Conroy?
Biggest non-player news since Darryl Sutter was fired IMO.

Agreed. Succession planning though.... Darryl's was hired knowing he would be the GM and Craig Button would be fired. Feaster stayed on the job only long enough for him to get caught up on speed on who is what for a smooth transition, then Feaster was going to be shown the door.
Wonder who Assist GM is?
