Feaster hasn't really "won" anything since he got here. In the NHL, it's about being better than your competition, and while Feaster has done a good job of "modernizing" how the Flames scout and evaluate talent, he hasn't made any "elite" GM moves and what he has done, has not made this team better in any way on the ice.
