3 months ago was 3 months ago. Jaybo had value and was an easy move. Iginla was an easy move. The returns were so-so at best.
That's a D. Seriously, given the Flames organizational backup (scouts etc), I think pretty much anyone who follows hockey could have done as well as Feaster here. And I'm not exaggerating at all.
I also don't see how "should have moved more" is debatable at all. We have a roster stock full of players that are utterly worthless for us within their contracts and will only go down in value now that Bouwmeester and Iginla are gone, and all he could move was Comeau. Tanguay's value will go down, as will Cammalleris and Stempniaks and Stajans and pretty much everybodys. That is bad. He couldn't find any takers for Sarich or Babchuk, that is bad, especially since Feaster signed both those guys.
Say what you will of Darryl Sutter, but he would always get something for players he wanted to move.
Feaster got the bare minimum done this trade deadline, like a seatwarmer for an actual GM.
