Right
So it’s a wee bit of hyperbole
Doesn’t matter what Feaster did before so much as the situation he left. He could have left better assets but he left what he left
Importantly in the cap world - no cap issues, no horrid contracts that needed to be dumped, tons of space!
As far as roster players, good young F core pieces, some really solid top D, culture reset and good work ethic.
It’s not the very top dream that probably involves Crosby, but yeah, it’s dream enough.
Lots of GMs are brought to clean up things. All he has to do was use his abundance of cap space and good pieces and build

lol alright "in their right mind" might be hyperbole as well, but I won't have you mocking my username, you're named after lip hair!
I think cap space and a few good pieces was all he had. There was no abundance. Feaster didn't really do anything that had a negative impact on the future (awful contracts, cap team, etc) but he also didn't do anything positive outside of get rid of contract. He didn't replace them with things that would help later outside of cap space.
An abundance of good pieces is just over the top, I think. There were 5-6 good players, total. Everything else was average or worse, whether that be because of the contracts, the quality of play, whatever.
Not that it really matters either way. Good situation, bad situation, 7 years is enough time to make something of either one. And I think he has, I just think it's not enough. Whether that means he stays and shakes up the core, or he gets fired and someone else comes in, at this point I'm just poking the dead horse and asking it to do something.
