So far, I don't disagree...but it is still way too early to tell.
The board is littered with posts trumpeting how great player X was doing and how they were going to be NHL'ers sooner rather than later. Yet that never materialized. 20 years in the drafting/development wilderness is more than just bad luck.
Now, Feaster isn't to blame for any of that, but the metric for success is not restocking your AHL team or having kids light it up in junior. Success is measured in # of NHL games played and # of points and quality minutes.
The jury is still out on the drafting/development by the current regime.
