Right place, right time isn't an indicator of someone's proficiency.

Once Sutter was removed anyone could have disassembled the team. Just so happens Feaster was already AGM.

Just to be clear, I'm not anti Feaster (granted its coming off like that at the moment) or on some witch hunt. My points were:

1. Monahan was a lock at #6, especially after Lindholm was chosen at #5
2. Feaster wasn't a scout nor did he discover Gaudreau. Therefore I won't give him credit for finding him or obtaining him. He trusted his head scout, which is what any good GM would do.
