Colborne for a 4th round pick? Burke
Knight for a 4th round pick? OK but there was no room for Knight in Florida.
5th round pick for Comeau? nothing trade
Wideman for Jordan Henry and a 5th round pick? OK
McGrattan for Joe Piskula? OK
1st round pick to Buffalo for their 1st and 2nd round pick-Results in Girgensons for Jankowski and Sieloff? Not my idea of a good deal and picks.
Stempniak for Langkow? Good deal, I was surprised.
Cammalleri, Ramo, and 5th round pick for Bourque, Patrick Holland, and a 2nd round pick? Decent but we got smaller again.
Roman Horak, and 2 2nd round picks for Tim Erixon and a 5th round pick-Results in Horak, Granlund, and Wotherspoon for Tim Erixon and Shane McColgan? Feaster got blind sided when he should have known that Erixon wouldn't sign. Backlund had already talked to him and knew the score.


There is no doubt in my mind that Feaster did not do very well on the Regehr and Bouwmeester trades, and the Tanguay/Sarich trade was abysmal. The Iginla trade is debatable but was limited by his NTC. There's a lot of meh trades that didn't do much either way as well, but overall Feaster didn't do well on the bigger deals that really make or break a franchise. I think if you look at the smaller deals that make up the supporting players in the franchise, he did exceptionally well. It's hard to say Feaster was all bad, but he didn't get enough on the big deals, and that really didn't do the franchise any favors long term.
