I think he obviously made some good moves, but so did Sutter. Sutter brought in Kipper, assembled key role players in 2004, resigned the core that no one said would happen. The Phaneuf trade was the right one, for cap reasons alone. That said, he deserves rightfully never to GM based on that fateful last season when he just lost it.

So I see Feaster in the same boat. RoR, Iggy trade, Richards signing, jankowski, etc are all blunders. jankowski simply because he could be had in round 2.

I think that Iggy trade really stands out. We should and could have got more. I know it was be good to Iggy, but you go to him and get his picks and trade him. The way it went down was a joke. I really think he bungled a lot that people don't remember.

So both guys I think will never GM again. Way too many good young candidates, and proven guys out there. I think he's a good guy, with best intentions but in this business you can't screw up that many times despite the Flames current success.
