The guy made mistakes, but nobody was going to come out of the terrible situation he inherited looking good.

Nah, I remember just fine. He made things worse along the way because he clearly was not driving the bus.
Considering the team had to canvas the league to hire a president, and were turned down several times along the way, just to get king out of hockey operations the team obviously realized it too.
There's no silver lining to the Feaster years. He took that job as a yes-man to ownership knowingly and is the gm of record in some of the worst moves in franchise history.
