Feaster actually made it a repeated point that he brought in "hockey people" smarter than him, didn't he?

Again you can do that, if you are good at what you do. Really thats the case anywhere. Nobody is going to say "well while Brian Burke is a better GM then Feaster, Feaster isn't as arrogant, so despite him being a horrible GM, we should keep Feaster" ... sometimes I think people are too sensative about how a GM (or coach) sounds to the media, and thinks thats some sort of determining quality.
However, if your peers in the NHL - i.e. other GMs - don't respect you, like Feaster by the sounds of it...... you won't be able to do your job very well, example: you end up getting mediocre quality for franchise players.
