As it is Feaster came out all right probably because he may have been able to accuse the Rangers of tampering but it wasn't because of any forethought on his part.

Huh, first time I've heard that.
I also don't think it's professional, let alone expected of Feaster to be gossiping with other players about contact talks. Backlund and Feaster having a little chat about Erixon's future with the team is absurd.
That also wasn't the point of the post. The point is that it's silly to think that a Flames fan on a forum would make a better NHL GM.
