Burke gets the benefit of the doubt because he brought in key aspects to the Ducks SC team, not just bringing in Fedotenko and then running them into the worse team in the league.
Burke didn't just hit on high draft picks he pulled off a pretty impressive deal to bring in both Sedins. What move has Feaster made that has been close to that? Burke then made a very impressive deal to bring in Chris Pronger to the Ducks. Again what move has Feaster made that is comparable? Burke added Selanne, MacDonald and Niedermayer to the Ducks, I guess some may compare that to the Fedotenko addition? Burke drafted Kesler at 23 and Umberger at 16 decent picks for those slots has Feaster had similar success in the mid-first round? Bieksa in the 5th is pretty good pick does Feaster have a guy at that level in his late round draft picks?
You can keep holding on to the non-trade of Cammalieri as some sort of proof that Burke is a crap GM but that doesn't come close to matching the career of crap that Feaster has put together.

The good things Feaster did (he did do good things, let's be fair) will never be enough to overcome not knowing the CBA, not confirming the rule, and signing ROR to that offer sheet knowing full well it could have cost him our 1st and 3rd rounders.
The rest is noise.
