That happens and it isn't Feaster's fault. He thought he could be a C and maybe you can throw some criticism on that, but if Cervenka had been successful as a winger, I don't think anyone would have cared.
Nothing wrong with giving guys a chance. If it works out, great. If it doesn't, that doesn't make the GM a bad assessor of talent.

Why isn't it feasters fault?
He assembled a team with 7 or 8 LWs and 2 centres, one of which was Backlund. A guy he brought in to improve that situation turned out not to be a centre.
Cammalleri/Stajan/Backlund/Cervenka/Jones is awful centre depth, but it looks a hell of a lot worse when it is actually Stajan/Backlund/nothing.
That's Feasters fault, and it in part fueled the attempt to go after Ryan O'Reilly. These things are all related.
I don't understand why bringing in players who were abject failures is just 'ho hum it didn't work out'. That is essentially the only metric by which you can judge Feaster aside from drafting.
