I think we've always given credit to Feaster for starting the rebuild. Sutter had the opportunity, and people urged him (though most were against it, including me) to rebuild earlier... but Feaster started it.
What, exactly, are you proposing Feaster was to do to prevent a rebuild? Everyone was screaming at him to rebuild at the start of his tenure, and he finally saw the writing on the wall and pulled the plug. And, as I think I've mentioned in this thread before, he did a pretty good job of it. Bouwmeester could have netted more, sure; Iginla is impossible to evaluate; and the drafting has been an incredible shot in the arm to a prospect pool that has been lacking since... ever?
So yes, Feaster started the rebuild. I didn't even know that as in question.
