My take on this:
Wins: Erixon trade, drafting (2011 draft looks golden, getting Gillies in 2012 3rd round, 2013 first round), some value pickups (Stempniak/Blair Jones/McGrattan/Galiardi/Russell/Colborne)
Losses: Most of the big trades (Regehr/Iginla/Bouwmeester/Tanguay). Some questionable signings from Europe (Cervenka/Karlsson/Ramo)
I remember when we hired Feaster the big worry was his draft history with TB. He seems to have done well here with the possible exception of Jankowski and if Baertschi's development has completely stalled. Where he fell apart was in getting value from our big trading pieces. I don't think he'll have a problem getting another job at some point.
