The Flames couldn't/can't afford to gamble like that.

I totally agree.
My problem in all of this is that people are so sour on Feaster for this fireable offence that they feel the need to rewrite Feaster's entire history with the Flames into a comprehensive narrative of utter incompetence. It wasn't. Feaster had good days in Calgary. He made good decisions while he was here. While those in no way rectify the damage done by this egregious error and the balance of his less than satisfactory full tenure, it's ridiculous to pretend that he did virtually everything wrong.
