I've heard it before from comments made on tv by Dreger, McKenzie, Shannon (and no, I don't tape FAN960, HC at Noon and TSN in the morning with Mike Richards so I can catalogue comments and post transcripts as my supporting info) that the Feaster regime was tight with info and that speculation regarding the Flames was driven from outside the organization (ie. loose lips on other teams).
No, I can't provide a link, but anyone is welcome to tweet some of those listed and see what they have to say about the Flames.

Not sure why my single line post triggered such a defensive response, but the point is that the rampant speculation and lack of clear consensus regarding what the Flames are currently up to is a stark--and, to me, refreshing--change from the constant flow of leaks under the previous regime. The speculation about Benning and Nieuwendyk (from Friedman and Sportsnet, respectively) has been contradicted by McKenzie. The original reports may turn out to be true, but there is enough uncertainty at this point to reasonably conclude that nobody actually knows anything. See my previous post.
I don't recall a single report from any of those you listed about Feaster being tight with info--Sutter, yes. Feaster, no--though I'd welcome an actual citation.
