When we missed the play-offs for a majority of the time under Richards deal and been unable to sign guys to help the team because of the ridiculous overpayment it was I am not sure how much of a genius Feaster would have looked like even with the rose colored glasses of many Flames homers.

That's possible. I don't agree, but it's possible.
However, swinging for the fences on a #1 center is never a bad idea in my mind. Trading Iggy and Kipper and aiming for the basement is always a bad idea to me.
Another good reason is a simple comparison between some of Darryl Sutter's "big splashes" (and attempted ones) and the only one Feaster has tried that we know about.
Feaster: Brad Richards, who unquestionably helped the Rags a lot last season, and I think would've helped us make the playoffs.
Darryl Sutter: Bouwmeester, Jokinen, Redden, Smyth.
Thank god Sutter never got the opportunity to trade Iggy or Kipper.
