I would argue that Feaster wasn't "well installed" by the 2002 draft, as it was probably too late for Feaster to tell his scouts the type of players and skillsets he wants his scouts to look for (if he was to do such a thing). But he had ample time to have his scouts adjust the draft lists to reflect more of what Feaster was looking for.
Regardless, the 2002 and 2008 draft were Feaster's best two drafts IMO (scary!) so give him credit for one take away credit for another and it all balances out. I don't give him any credit for drafting Stamkos though.
