Reminds me of my Feaster depression.

For me, the Feaster era was pretty exciting and optimistic. While you might question some of his trades, you have to remember he was saddled with a lot of no trade, high cost, older player contracts. I think Calgary led the league in NTC contracts at one point.
The Feaster era focused on rebuilding; it focused on youth, speed and skill. When was the last time Calgary drafted a perennial all-star before that, when was the last time you were openly optimistic and excited about a prospect before that? Dion is the only prospect I can remember being excited about in the 10 or 15 years before Feaster. Pretty bleak.
