Gio was 27 when Feaster took over as was Bouw. Sutter got 23 year old Regehr, and Leopold who were young budding top 4 D when he took over.
It is hard to compare the teams that Sutter and Feaster inherited but Feaster didn't have nearly as much wiggle room to make deals.

Then why are you?
The team Darryl acquired, the 2002-2003 Flames, were a very close 2nd (to 2001-02 Flames) as the worst Flames team in 15 years. Feaster has acquired a way better team, they were locked up with bigger contracts and players were older, but there is no way the 2002-03 Flames were better then 2011-12. That is ridiculous.
PS : Regehr and Leopold were hardly "budding superstars" ; Regehr was played like a soft teddy bear and Leopold was shuffling between the Saint John and Calgary.
