Feaster has done almost as much as he could have. We're starting guys fresh out of college. Putting our rookies into key roles. We traded our best forward (theoretically) and best defenseman. And now there's talk of bringing up 1/3 of the Heat and putting them into games as well.
The only thing Feaster maybe could have done is trade another vet or two and even that might not have made a big difference.
Feaster has done everything reasonable to help the tank job IMO. We got lucky in the DET game. Kipper's return to form hasn't helped the losses either.
This team had some bad luck to be in the bottom 3. We just aren't one of the worst 3-5 teams in the league unfortunately. I want MacKinnon/Barkov/Drouin/Jones as bad as anyone. At least there are some great guys in the 5-8 range.
Hopefully we get some luck in this next stretch both in the Flames results (NSH game is soooo key) and on the out of town scoreboard. A lottery win would obviously be amazing but is a longshot obviously.
