Absolutely. I'm pretty sure Burke would have gotten Iginla to agree in advance to a list of teams so he could get some bargaining leverage. Extremely amateur move that he negotiated a deal with Boston before getting Iginla to fully agree to a trade there. Then he went on to publicly acknowledge his idiocy almost blaming the player. I guess it's just "academic" but Feaster proved himself totally incapable on multiple occasions. Should have been fired immediately after O'Reilly incident. No GM would have made some of the oversights he made.
