The returns they would have got for Iginla and others would definitely put them ahead. The higher draft picks from having a bottom team would have them farther ahead. Not having terrible deals for guys that bring nothing like Hudler and Wideman would have them farther ahead. And most importantly since Feaster said he would not be the guy for the rebuild having a competent (or at least better than Feaster and his merry band of idiots) hockey staff in place would have this team much farther ahead.
