But yes, that was a complete disaster, I understand where Feaster was coming from, but that was a total mess.

What do you mean you understand where he was coming from? He wanted a good player, and came very close a huge fiasco because he didn’t understand how the NHL worked. I’m not about to pat him on the back and say “I understand, you really tried!”
Hatchet man or not, Feaster was a very poor version of whatever role he was supposed to play. He was a screw up in every facet of his role, and while you can blame others for this and that, the fact is that even the few good things that came out of his short tenure (Monahan for example), now seem like a miracle he didn’t screw up.
