Feaster was not a good GM and Flames were quite lucky IMO to come out of his time as GM in reasonable shape. In fact, if this team had just hit on the late 1st round picks in 2013, a lot of things would feel different around here.

Sutter improved the on-ice product at the expense of the long-term asset base.
That's part of the reason the franchise continues to have to rob peter to pay paul.
And indeed his drafting was god-awful.
Consecutive years of Chucko-Pelech-Irving-Backluknd-Nemisz-Erixon
One NHLers in 6 years of first round picks.
Late 1sts are hard but you should hit on more than 1 in 6.
