And lets not forget the debacle of giving away a top 5 center and and a really nice looking defenseman for a one dimensional goal scorer who crumbles like a creampuff when the tough gets going.
Feasters 2011 draft with only 5 picks will probably turn out better than the last decade of Burkes brutal picks (other than the no brainers of course)
Keep drinking the phoney blowhards kool-aid though...eventually you'll get it.

Feaster has done nothing at the draft outside of your BS probably. Probably isn't impressive.
Since when are top 7 picks no brainers? Kadri was better than guys chosen around him and not a "typical" Burke selection, Reilly was a good selection at 5.
And why are we only looking at the past 10 years? So we can eliminate good picks that Burke has made?
Plus draft picks are probably the least influence that a GM has of any of the areas of his job that he does.
That top forward that Burke gave up has already been dealt from his team for attitude concerns and Kessell is a top 5 scorer over the past 3 years. I don't think it is a great trade for Burke and not a fan of Kessel at all but it is far from the horrible deal people try to make it out to be.
And again instead of defending Feaster is an all out attack on Burke to try and deflect. The great defenders of Feasters two big weapons try to point out he isn't as bad as others (and failing to do so) and talking about how this could be good and that could be good. Never discussing what actually happened or his awful record just trying to deflect blame and move the argument away from looking at what happened.
