When does the "Blame it Sutter" meme expire anyways? Seems like everything is Sutter's fault? How about looking at what Feaster has done, including lucking out on misfires of titanic proportions like the Brad Richards almost signing?
though Feaster supporters will dismiss it because it didn't work out, the fact remains that that was but for the grace of the Hockey Gods. Having a GM totally misread your roster is inexcusable, and the monolithic drumbeat of Blame Sutter, Blame Sutter only partially addresses that.
and my mea culpa, i've been critical of the Flames picks, scouting and development for over 5 years - I am certainly not a fan of DSutter the GM.
