Agreed with you there - seems like its far too easy to influence Feaster which direction to go. First its Len Barrie and Oren Koules putting him into a difficult situation, then its Ken King and Murray Edwards putting him into a difficult situation, then its Darryl Sutter putting him into a difficult position, now its Jarome Iginla and Don Meehan putting him into a difficult situation?
