Fair enough points, and hey, it makes me scratch my head sometimes too.
That said, Feaster has already tried throwing money at one legitimate elite center (Richards), and Sutter made a move and thought he got his man in Jokinen.
Truth is, when you're a team structured like Calgary, the only way to shore up the hardest position to improve (#1 center) is to draft well (or get lucky) at the position you are continually drafting in or sacrifice either your future or your roster and possibly create another hole.
It hasn't turned out well so far, but I refuse to believe that they are completely inept or flat-out not trying.
