Jokinen was pretty good for the most part, his trade to NY for Kotalik was a bloody joke though which again was all Sutter. Keep in mind that Sutter re-signed Olli after failing here and then making that terrible trade to NY. Bouwmeester was a great signing but we have seen that the way he was used by the coach (Sutter's brother) was horrible for his game. As soon as B. Sutter was gone he flourished and played like a top defenseman again.
My point was that Feaster inherited a total mess from Sutter. A cap team that sucked with no prospects in the systems because Sutter traded them all away like candy. The current state of this team has more to do with Sutter's mismanagement than Feaster sucking even though Feaster isn't that great of a GM.
