What has Feaster done to show he is not a dumb GM? His moves in Tampa got the team to the 1st overall pick and his moves in Calgary have been awful getting them close to a top 5 pick. This is all done by a guy that says he is not a Gm for a rebuild.
In terms of "fixing a mess" he sure has a odd way of doing that by holding on to guys for way too long and signing mediocre players to bad long term deals. If he was actually fixing a mess guys would have been gone two deadlines ago. This team would have been drafting top 5 (or at least 10) for the past two drafts. Retreads like Tanguay and Cammy would not have been brought back and the core of the team would be very different. The core of this team since Feaster took over has been made up of all Sutter guys seems like an odd way to fix a so called mess. Even now maybe you could try and argue that the core has Hudler and Wideman (terrible thought if true) but still a majority of Sutter guys.
