Signing one of the top defensemen like Morrison would have been impossible for Calgary only two years ago. The Flames have made HUGE strides over the last couple of years in every possible way.

Another benefit started by Feaster. After he took over as GM the Flames have been mass inviting college guys to their development camp to help build relationships. Paid off with Jooris. Paying off again.
