Did Feaster? A lot of us watched a lot of hockey games over the years too. Does that mean we are as good of a talent evaluator as Feaster? Sure Feaster is a good administrator and some say all he needs to do is to be a good delegator but does that mean I can be a GM, hire someone like Feaster to be the delegator, and then sit there making informed decisions because I'll be listening to everyone? Kind of ridiculous.

Look up the names Sam Pollock, Bill Torrey and Jim Devallano. I guess they aren't "hockey guys" either.
