But I find it very ironic that this argument is happening in a Kris Russell thread. A trade Feaster made that was criticized by many and thought of as significant by no one. Seems like Feaster judged his talent pretty well.

As an individual player, I like Russel. I've liked him since watching him in the Memorial Cup but Feaster trading for one of the smallest defencemen in the NHL, when we already have the smallest team in the NHL, isn't good planning.
At the moment he's the best option we have, as he's NHL quality but as Burke has said about other small players, we need to surround him with some beef. We really need another competent big defenceman. This is the reason Breen keeps getting chances.
As for Feaster learning something after 25 years, in my books he obviously hasn't learned enough.
