Criticize him for other bad moves, but he left the team with the gift of the most exciting player the Flames have had since at least Theo Fleury. As a fan, I can't help but appreciate Feaster for his role in me having had the chance to watch Johnny play over the years.

Who cares who Sutter would have drafted? Is someone saying he was good at drafting? Though you do realize he drafted a guy from Gaudreau’s team (in fact from his line) in the 4th round in the 2011 draft, right? I imagine Sutter might have drafted Gaudreau too.
Feaster was not good at drafting except for that one time he listened to someone who pushed for Gaudreau. The sum total of his good work is saying “ok” to someone else’s idea. You could also have been watching Gaudreau passing to Teravainen or Hertl, or playing in front of Vasilevskiy but for Feaster.
