Feaster is the guy in charge of hockey decisions so yes, I hold him responsible for the team that is assembled. And he seems to have a lot more leeway than many other GM's in that he is allowed to spend to the cap. I certainly blame Sutter for part of it but there is one center on the ice night in and night out and that is absolutely the fault of the GM not just because he can't land Richards or O'Reilly but because he won't even bring any NHL-caliber centers. Big name or bust doesn't work.

And I don't care who you are, any person with playing experience or not who thinks that three wingers playing center for a sustained period doesn't know much or doesn't know enough about the sport. As a reference point, look at well, every single professional hockey team and see how many centers they have.
