It could be on a lot of people... It's not just Feaster who reads the CBA.

Weisbrod, Goulet, and some other people we don't even know about.

Sure, but the buck stops at the GM. He is ultimately responsible and for once needs to be held accountable.

Little did Jay know when he said there would be moves to improve the team " Right away".

Correct me if i'm wrong, but would'nt king be the legal responsible member here. He's a officer of the orginization over seeing keasters work.

How in the hell has Murray Edwards managed to run his other businesses so successfully?

I think so

[ComixZone]

I want to cry...this fall "from grace" is a bigger eye sore than what has happened up north.

Yes but Feaster is the General Manager so in charge of hockey decisions. I guess every organization is different but I'm guessing King doesn't have to sign off on all hockey decisions (if he does, then it's ridiculous).

King would have likely have had to get approval from ownership for the 2.5 million signing bonus, meaning this whole fiasco would have gone straight to the top (if it didn't come from there...).

Didnt Feaster say that this decision approved and supported by the organization as a whole?

Classic yes man.

I'm normally not a praying man, but if you're up there, please save us Superman.

[CedarMeter]

If true I wouldn't even face the media I would just resign.

Academic curiosity #2: If CO doesn't match, ROR goes on waivers and is picked up... do the Flames still have to pay the $2.5M bonus?

And, does that $2.5M cap hit count against us, even if he doesn't play for the Flames?

Like I said last page, it's not necessarily Feaster's fault that this happened, but someone had to be responsible for checking the CBA for clauses such as this, and the person who missed that has to be fired. If Feaster didn't have someone doing that, that's even worse management, and then the fault lies on Feaster and he needs to go.

[Royle9]

Honestly, there must be some sort of avenue regarding what happened not known to the media. Do we all really think they could be this stupid? Wasn't there other teams also looking to sign him to an offer sheet?

Just seems like one of those "more to it" scenarios.. hopefully we hear from Mr.Feaster or the Flames organization.

The kid signs you gotta pay him, not sure about the corralry question

[Zulu29]

Just read MacKenzie article, he would have gone on waivers had the Avs not matched. That is a huge shot to the credibility of the Flames management.
