For having the job for only 1255 days he managed to restock our system to where we have incredible depth. That was pretty impressive given the scorched earth Sutter left behind as he continued to try and build a team around Iginla when his best-before date had expired. When you look at our future and see it looking so bright, remember to thank Jay Feaster. He was integral in restocking the system.

I'll wait to see how many of these guys pan out before I crown him. Just by default the guy who was the GM for the four year's previous is going to have acquired most of the prospects.
He was hired as the GM internally. He should have known that the team needed to rebuild well before they did. I'd much rather be competing for a playoff spot with a rebuild near completion than waiting another 2 years so we aren't going to be in the mix until 2016.
