And I could go on and on about him but I think I made my point. Forget about worst Flames GM. If you include his Tampa Bay years he's right there with Kevin Lowe for worst GM of the new millenium.

Feaster was terrible, there is no doubt. But he walked in to a house of cards, and there is no denying that. Didn't Sutter have 14 (14!!!) Players on NMC on his roster. He was the Opera Winfrey of no move clauses.... "Look under your chaaaiiiirs!!!! You get a no move clause! And you get a no move clause! and you.....!! All this while he traded all the teams prospects and all the teams picks for aging veterans in an effort to move forward with a veteran group, when the game was starting to move towards younger and faster players. Surprised feaster failed at making trades? Not as much as you would think. Surprised the GM, who is a lawyer, didn't understand the implications of an almost disastrous offer sheet on O'Rielly? Yup, you betcha. Reading the fine print fell squarely on his shoulders. I mean why even have a lawer as a GM otherwise? For his profund knowledge of the game, and how to assemble a team? Feaster was the worst for sure, but I don't envy the dogs breakfast he walked into.
