Eric D said that Feaster did a lot of good work, and a lot of the pieces in place are because of his moves.
He basically said the RoR potential disaster though was where he lost credibility.
My personal opinion is that Feaster did some good things and bad.
He drafted some of the most impactful guys on the roster. But he also really fumbled a number of items
- The Regehr deal was awful.
- The Bouwmeester deal was awful and didn't need to happen at the deadline. He was signed and could have been dealt in the summer if the deadline offers weren't good enough
Generally I think he did OK on drafting but on trading usually came out on the wrong end.
I don't hold anything against him for the Iginla deal though. That was all on 12.
