Iginla should’ve been traded a year or two before he did. Did you forgot the fool me twice? He threatened to trade players one deadline if they didn’t show anything and then we stunk it up and he traded nobody.
Feaster was a disaster through and through. Thank god Brad Richards didn’t sign here.

It’s already been said, but I’ll say it again. Feasted was given a mandate. Re-sign Iggy and push for the playoffs. Once it was known Iggy was not re-signing here Feaster was given the green light for a re-build.
He was saddled with a team having no prospects and old, slow, high contract players with NTC contracts. Hell, most aren’t even playing hockey anymore. What does that tell you about the team he Inherited?
