I am a big fan of what Feaster has done considering what he inherited and the mandate he has to work with. He made some great moves with the Cammy and Erixon trades. The Regehr trade was not the greatest but Reggie was crazy over-rated by this fanbase. I still think if he was willing to take on salary he could have got a better player.
He went all in on Brad Richards because he thought he had a shot at bringing him in because of a past relationship. It was and still is a glaring need for this team but it does look like we dodged a serious bullet there.
Wideman, Cervenka, Hudler all look like great pickups. He has the balls to listen to his AGM and scouts convince him to take a high school player with our 1st pick even when there is a good chance he won't be working here when/if Jankowski pans out.
Weisbroad, Conroy, Hartley are all good hockey people and I like the direction the organization is heading I just hope if this team falls out that he is allowed to make some rebuilding trades for the future.
