Organization is a joke and the people who run it are in fantasy land.

Really dont think he had the contacts in the league that he can work with/trust him to be able to pull off deals. There's a reason no one wanted him for 3 years+ after leaving Tampa. His trade deadlines have consisted of Modin and resigning Jackman. Cammalleri, his biggest trade, fell into his lap thanks to Cammaleri's attitude in Montreal.
Sutter had the contacts, had the ability to close a deal. And quietly, not a bunch of bluster and "openness".
Feaster can talk up FA's and is a good speaker, but not that greatest 'doer' when it comes to pulling the trigger, and that's clear. He hasn't rolled it out in just under a year, but as the heat builds if he can't pull something togeher, I fully expect a reference to the mess that Darryl left him, over 2 years ago as a crutch which is past its expiry date.
He's got the chance now to get back to redeeming himself and shore up the woeful center position, and may have to figure out the goalie situation further if Kiprusoff is out longer then another week or so.
