2011 draft: Baertschi, Granlund, Wotherspoon, Gaudreau, Brossoit
2012 draft: Jankowski, Sieloff, Gillies, Kulak, Culkin, Gordon, DeBlouw
2013 draft: Monahan, Poirier, Klimchuk, Kanzig, Roy, Harrison, Rafikov, Gilmour

That's an embarrassment of riches compared to Sutter's drafts from 2004-2010. And most of those guys haven't even finished developing yet. If a couple later round picks pan out it'll be gravy.

Feaster seemed to let his scouting staff do their thing. Really really hope Burke doesn't change a thing in that regard.

Basically, Feaster is at his best when he's doing what other people tell him to do.

Kind of ironic to say that in a thread about Feaster getting a job to offer an opinion
