Sounds pretty similar to Burke. It can be argued Burke built Vancouver, who went to the Cup finals.

Fair enough, I stand corrected on the Feaster point.
Other then the Sedins Burke didn't have an impact on that roster: Was there anyone else held over from his era? Salo?
So I guess Burke and Feaster are fairly similar the difference is that Feaster got Tampa Stamkos and Burke traded Seguin... And Feaster isn't an arrogant buffoon.
(Lowe feud, stating he would never trade for anyone hamstringing the GM by requesting a trade (Heatley) only a couple years after doing that exact thing to get Pronger, his feud with Don Cherry, <removed>)
