Iginla tied Feaster's hands with his ridiculously small trade list. JBo was coming off an awful stint overall in Calgary and was considered overpaid. Regehr was over the hill and not as effective in the new faster NHL.
Feaster was let go because he was always a stop gap. In order for him to stay on, he would have needed to do the impossible. The Flames prospect pool was horrendous. The star players were all old and had little value. The organisation should have traded them 2 years prior to gain any actual value. Feaster had no hope of success. His appointment was for part of holding pattern, until the organisation could start being respectable again.
