How are these good moves exactly? I realize that a player is only required to have 2 consecutive good games before his acquisition is deemed a roaring success and a "freakin" thread is created for him, but looking beyond that, I just don't see it. Right now, Feaster just seems to be signing players that are skilled and not worrying about how they fit into the build of this team or if they address our actual needs.

Coming into this season, the last thing that we needed were more small, soft wingers. We were pretty good on that front. Yet, since there were only small, soft wingers available, that's what we got. It doesn't seem like there is any real plan in place other than make some minor tweaks and hope and pray that it is good enough to get this team a playoff berth.

The way that I see it, Feaster is a smart guy. He realizes that this is his last NHL GM gig before he gets fired. Making the playoffs likely extends his shelf life by 1-2 years and that seems to be what he is going for.
