I still think Feaster was a bit of a patsy. The team was on the decline with aging veterans and his objective seemed to be to sell off assets for futures and recoup some losses. The cap space argument was a PR move, but given where the team was at the time, he may not have had the go-ahead to even use it.
I don't feel bad for him because he took the job, but I don't think he was ever in the long term plans of the club. The GM in charge of trading Iginla was never going to be a fan favourite and he was there to absorb the negative PR so the next architect GM wouldn't have to.
