Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Funny thing is, people focus more on the what could have happened with Feaster, than what actually happened.

They both happened. He made that ridiculous offer to Brad Richards and made that ridiculous offer sheet to ROR. Those events happened. The fact that he was bailed out by Richards and the Avalanche doesn't change the fact that both of those moves would likely stack up side by side with the Doug Gilmour trade as worst moves in franchise history. If a drunk driver makes it home safe without killing himself or anyone else does that mean the act is forgivable and we pat him on the back for the days he drove sober?
Craig MacTavish like Feaster offered more for the player he coveted in David Clarkson and got bailed out by Clarkson for choosing the Leafs. Bad GM's make bad moves. Sometimes you dodge the bullet but eventually you will take a hit.
