Forget Gaudreau, has Boyd signed yet?

We really did Marc Savard wrong by staying with Gilbert.

[Coach]

Olli Jokinen! Again?

Tanguay! Again?

Cammalleri! Again?

[Huntingwhale]

We should argue the logistics of the Phaneuf trade again. Boy, that trade sucked.

Umm... I hope you actually watched the segment. Duffy basically asked him point blank what happened. What was he suppose to say "no comment".

He basically said that he made a mistake in handling the Iginla trade and moved on in a pretty respectable manner. Feaster was pretty classy during the whole segment with Duffy, I don't think he said anything of real controversy.

[Tinordi]

I think Brent Sutter is the right coach for this team.

[strombad]

Remember when we traded Atlanta 16 million dollars for their franchise? LOL WIN!

[bubbsy]

can we discuss the gilmour trade? I am still upset about that, and it happened when i was 10.

Feaster has turned the trade of our franchise player into a debacle. Trying to turn the fans on him right after the trade and continuing to throw him under the bus. He's trying to justify the horrendous returns he got because he's a pushover and that's why he's out of a job now and will never be a gm in the NHL again.

Tell us how you really feel.

Better than we got for Gilmour!

Also, Cliff Fletcher is in over his head. Can't believe he managed only two measly draft picks for Kent Nilsson! Not even first rounders!

[getbak]

Brett Hull and Steve Bozek for Rob Ramage and Rick Wamsley? Come on, Fletcher.

[Tinordi]

We need to be more sympathetic to Fleury's situation.

Does that sound like something an agent would say during negotiations to get his client exactly what he wants? Definitely.
Does that sound like the words that Jarome Iginla directly said to Jay Feaster? Definitely not.
Agents are sharks by nature and Meehan is very good at what he does, Feaster making that statement public only reaffirms that he is not a suitable general manager if he cannot handle something like that said during a negotiation.

Boy do we need a trade already

[getbak]

Brodeur said the exact same thing last night. He has given Lou his list, but he hasn't signed anything, and won't sign anything until he knows what the deal is.

Obviously Lou is an idiot and isn't suitable to be a GM.

[puckluck2]

Well we know Jay McFlappymouth Feaster isn't going to hold anything back.

Hopefully he learned from bashing Jokinen pretty badly that some day he might be the GM of that same player and it will form a sour relationship with the player or even the team.

He could never shut up though so I don't see him starting now.

I think I'm as big on Iggy as it gets, my favourite player of all time. And I don't dissagree with you on Feaster pooping the bed on dealing with that important milestone in the Flames history, not at all saying he didn't.

But the pass Iggy gets from some fans on his decisions is rediculous. Yes, he had an NTC, so it was his "right" to do what he liked. That's not the entire point. Lots of things are people's "right", doesn't mean they fine things to do. Iggy got really really selfish at the end there, and showed the franchised that had basically made him priority #1 for over a decade (to a fault) no respect at the end. And he also showed just how stupid he was being about things by zeroing in on just one team. It's one thing to have a really small list (which he did), but to think one of those 4 teams had that much of a better chance then the other three on his list is just dumb. He had the top 4 contenders on his list, to micro analyse his decision down to one is just pure stupidity and shows such a lack of confidence on his own part on the difference he'd make to which of the teams he went to. He basically tried to pick which team he could be a passenger on win a cup, versus taking the stance that he's picked the 4 best teams and which ever one he goes to he will push them over the top and win the cup.

Stupid move for Iggy himself (as it proved out) and totally ####ty to give the franchise he played for all his career 0 leverage in moving him.

Yah Feaster took a #### on that one, but Iggy was in the stall with him too droppin a log right next to him.
