I like Treliving for the most part, but can someone explain to me what Feaster did that was so bad? Lost a couple trades? That it?

It's not just that Feaster "lost a couple trades." He lost nearly all of his trades, some in spectacular fashion. Just look at what we have to show for Iginla and Bouwmeester as an example, two franchise players for whom the returns should have set the team up for years to come. Other GMs were starting to prey on the Flames because they knew the guy in charge would cave and take whatever weak-ass return was offered to him.
Besides that, he seemed incapable of putting his money where his mouth is, and combined with his constant drumming up of buzzwords and catchphrases du jour, he came across as a bit of a buffoon. He did some good work over his tenure for sure, but I definitely do not miss him and how he turned this franchise into a laughing stock.
