I don't thin it's a case of "planning to fire". I think its a situation where a new head of hockey ops would possibly want to bring in their own GM and then the GM a new coach.For all those folks fantasizing about Feaster's demise, I doubt that very much. When does a team leave a lame duck GM as the teams spokesman just before they fire him? He is calling for meetings with the press. He is the voice of the Flames. What's more, what team in there right mind would let a man they were planning to fire, offer three first round picks in a trade? I would say these two facts alone demonstrate that the organization still stand behind Feaster.
I am not on the fire Feaster bandwagon, but I understand people wanting their own personnel. I also think this year should be a continuation of last, with more vets being moved at the draft and towards the deadline, so there is really no point in firing Feaster until the team is finished being dismantled, but once it is I like the idea of fresh blood coming in to build the future Flames.
A thing I like about Shanahan is he might have some insight into the developmental process of the Wings, they are among the best at developing their picks.
