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

Russell? did that even register on the NHL radar? Not sure how many people even considered that as a "miss"... more like, why the hell not. Hudler wasn't an awful signing, just underwhelming at the time... that has obviously panned out very well for Calgary
Feaster was not particularly good, but if he was and the Flames' current success is actually attributable to him, he'll get a job no problem...
botches of the iggy situation and boumeester and near Oiler-esque disasters like the Brad Richards/ROR variety would immediate exclude him in many teams eyes.
