I don't expect Feaster to provide availability to the media for at least a few hours. It's going to take some time for them to determine how to spin this.

Feaster should be fired for putting together a roster with only two centres (who were 3rd and 4th line centres last year) and playing for weeks with only one.

This fiasco on top. . . . Mind boggling. It helps him that no one knew, but it was his job to check.

I guess the danger would be that one of the 5 teams below the Avs in the standings puts in a waiver claim and steals O'Reilly.

I'll be surprised if the team says much about this. Feaster won't be fired, and it'll be glossed over as a misunderstanding about the new CBA and crappy information from the KHL. I'm not saying it's right, but it's what will likely happen.
You just answered your own question. There is no chance that someone doesn't claim him. Columbus and others would be all over that.

What?
Every single move that any GM makes should 100% be geared to improve the team. What a stupid excuse.

That would be interesting indeed. Even if it were the case, and I was Colorado, I would still go ahead and match. Seems like it would be very sharp practice not to. Might hurt team's/GM's reputation around the league too badly.

The guys upstairs should know more about this and be better at their job.
But it still had no impact. THe Flames today are the same as the Flames yesterday. It's perfectely acceptable to argue that a narrowly avoided blunder (if that's what it was... I want to hear from Feaster and/or the NHLPA before I make a judgement on that) justify's consequences but what is indisputable is that it had no impact. A move that nearly had a (negative) impact is a move that had no impact because "nearly" doesn't count.

Not saying that heads should or shouldn't roll... just saying that there was no actual impact.

Close only counts with hand granades and horseshoes is what my dad always used to say.

No way this makes a difference. You can't blackmail other teams especially when other teams will be possibly impacted (Islanders, Bufallo, etc..).

In trying to relate this to potential scenarios where I work, where I expose the company to potential losses whether they come to fruition or not.... any one of them I paint, I am I kicking my lunchbox down the street the next day.

And we would be talking a couple hundred grand, not potentially millions. HUGE mistake. At minimum, he has some serious explaining to do to the fans.

Not hard to say that the flames did not improve their chances of re-signing him.

I mean. you don't really expect the franchise to pull a 180 from the last 25 years?
No, I really don't. But at least with a scandal like this there's a slim chance that things could get shaken up.

When Feaster gets fired from this mess, the hiring of the next GM will be scrutinized to a ridiculous degree. I don't see they how you can just promote Weisbrod like was expected when he's in the room too.
