There is no way he ends up in Toronto. Not because he isn't a good fit, but because he is far too cardboard to placate that fan base and media market. Shanahan needs to make a sexy hire. That's why it will be an ex-player (e.g. Burke, Blake, etc.) or one of the hyped rookie candidates (e.g. Futa, Fenton).
If Chiarelli gets canned, I could see Feaster end up in Boston. (The rumour there is that Neeley would take on a much larger role in Hockey Ops without Chiarelli). Feaster would be a good guy to have around in that situation as he's proven to work well in unusual circumstances and to be deferential to those above and below him.
