Our scouting has been much better since the Feaster days, so for me it's a no brainer to rebuild/retool right now when we have young forwards like Pelletier, Coronato, Zary, Pospisil, defense of Poirier, Morin, Solovyov, and Wolf as a goalie. It's a good start, and more coming along the way if Conroy plays his cards right.

Feaster drafted Gaudreau and Monahan.
His 2011 draft of Sven, Granlund, Wotherspoon, Gaudreau and Brossoit has the most number of NHL games played of any Flames draft class since 2000 (1,475 and counting).
He was a clown and had to go, but if he’d just drafted any of Tom Wilson, Teuvo Teravainen, Vasilevskiy, or Hertl at 14 instead trading down to make his stupid Jankowksi pick, he probably doesn’t get the axe from Burke and he gets to rebuild the team instead of Treliving.
There’s a timeline where that happened.
