So ya I think Feaster did some good things for this team I just think his drafting is vastly over-rated. I don't think the fan base should praise Feaster and crap on Sutter without knowing all the facts.

The GMs deserve credit because ultimately, they have to put their name on the decision. Jay Feaster was the one who stuck his neck out and drafted a 139 lb child. The buck ultimately stopped with him, and all the positive contributions he made to this team should be lionised accordingly.
