This is our problem. I too didn't think he was doing a horrible job. But as fans, we need to demand better. This is a really tough league, and our GM was not doing enough to make the team better. The team got worse all three years he was here, and there seemed to be no true vision for where they wanted to go.
There's also a myriad of lost trades; yes, Russell for a 5th was a good trade. Cammalleri for Bourque was a good trade. Every major trade Feaster orchestrated was a disaster.
Buffalo got more for Regehr two years later. Two 2nds vs Butler and Byron? Seriously?
Iggy and Bo trades were atrocious. Hanowski looks like he'll be a dime-a-dozen player, who knows with Agostino. Cundari can't crack the worst defence in the NHL 30 games into a bottom three finish. Berra might be something but he gives up awful goals at the worst times.
So yeah. Feaster had his chances. His drafts seemed decent. We need better.
