Clean slate? He made bad trades for our 2 biggest contracts and our third biggest retired. He inherited a team that would fight for a playoff spot and turned them into a bottom 5 roster.
This team would still be paying Brad Richards $7M if Feaster got his way.

This.
I can forgive all the other Feaster moves in hindsight, but if he actually managed to sign Richards to that 10 year contract, well, that would have been unforgivable. I remember hearing the proposal thinking "This isn't going to work out the way he wants". Either way, I was right.
