In hindsight, I'm glad the rebuild is starting now rather than 1 or 2 years ago. Realistically, the earliest the rebuild could have started was the 2011 trading deadline, months after Darryl Sutter was fired and Feaster became interim GM.

I wonder, had they traded Jarome and other assets at that time, likely for prospects and picks, would the hockey staff and scouts at that time (pre-Weisbrod and revamped scouting staff) have acquired good prospects or drafted well? Their body of work up until then would suggest no. Also, the 2011 and 2012 drafts were not deep like 2013.

I doubt Feaster leading Sutter's hockey staff would have made the right decisions; Feaster with Weisbrod, Goulet and at least 5 new scouts and a new way of scouting adds to the encouraging situation now
