Could it be that maybe we were just being fanciful and revisionist to try to justify Feaster's bad handling of that situation?
Because Burke said in his recommendation to management that trade values were a problem and was a reason to let Feaster go. It would be fairly two-faced to fire Feaster for not getting full value for Iginla if the organization wanted to "Do Him Right."

Well it's not the first time in big business a manager ends up the fall guy for decisions made above him. The ROR debacle was probably the beginning of the end anyway.
