The acting General Manager of the Calgary Flames held his post season news conference Tuesday.
Jay Feaster says, though changes need to be made, fans shouldn’t expect trading Captain Jarome Iginla to be part of those changes.
Feaster told a packed room of reporters in no uncertain terms that Jarome Iginla is not going anywhere.
He admits the club will have to look at moving some key players to acquire younger talent but he says number 12 isn’t one of them.
“There’s no doubt in my mind that Jarome wants to win a Stanley Cup but he wants to win it here. And we want to win a Stanley Cup and win it with Jarome, so it’s a non-starter,” says Feaster.
As for his own future, Feaster says he wouldn’t have accepted the acting GM job if he didn’t want it full-time.
Team President Ken King has said that decision will be made after the Stanley Cup final.
