Feaster also acquired: Jones for Tanguay; a 5th for Comeau (who at least has speed and is still playing hockey); Akim Aliu (no speed, IQ or work ethic); Blair Jones, Dennis Wideman; Chris Butler; Freddie Modin. He drafted Sven (not really fast, not really hard working and with questionable IQ), Poirier, Seiloff, Brossoit, Klimchuk, Rafikov, Culkin, Wotherspoon. Show me an "identity" in that grab bag of picks.

I would bet a sizeable amount that Iginla could have been handled better. In other words, Feaster should have gotten a commitment to go to either Boston or Pittsburgh, whichever Feaster could pull off. And then he should have gotten more out of both teams. But besides that, look at the Regher return, look at the Jaybo return, and look at what the market was for those kind of players.

Feaster drafted Gaudreau. Name another gm that's drafted a more impactful player for the flames in the last 20 years. The face of our franchise.
