Let me know when Brad drafts a forward as talented as Johnny in the 4th round. I am indifferent about whether he is active in the process or whether he lets his scouts do their job. I will trust your insider knowledge though about the Mendoza line for what round Feaster ceases to get credit for the organization he managed picking a stud player.
Joel Farabee would look good in our lineup this year, but alas, we decided to trade the pick that we could have got him with for Travis Hamonic. The player we actually lost with that pick was the great Gergenson, but I suspect if cherry picking is allowed the Hamonic trade will look horrific in 5 years.
And the David Jones trade did cost us the one good season that Tanguay had left. The upside was that David got more goals in that playoff than Alex did in the previous 3 playoffs. He did not bring Alex's patented physical game though.

I guess you’re right- Feaster was a genius GM and that’s why he’s been so successful in hockey operations since.
