He was awful in Calgary and even worse when in TB. He wasn't close to as good as Sutter and probably not any better than Button who at least brought in some talent to the team and made equally as terrible deals.
Feaster had a team that was clearly ready and needing a rebuild and instead stayed the course failing to add any talent or ship out the assets we had to potentially bring in the much needed youth.
His drafts while here are still very suspect. He got very little returns on Iginla and Bouwmeester, nothing on Kipper. His "best" moves are getting run of the mill 3rd/4th liner/bottom pairing d-men for nothing.
The team got worse every year he was in charge of the team much like it did in TB when he took a Stanley Cup Team that was handed to him and ran them right down into the basement.
You say there are only 30 jobs in the NHL and that is what will hurt Feaster's chances of getting another job but what about taking from 93 points to 71 points in his 5 years there and Calgary from 90+ points to bottom 5 in the league in his 3 years here?
I would think that his track record of making teams worse and not exactly leaving the cupboards full when he leaves would be a much bigger roadblock to him getting hired again over the limited amount of jobs out there.
There is little to no reason to hire Feaster based on his track record and moves and a whole ton of reasons why he is unemployed now.
