For that, I think Jay Feaster: in his short 3-drafts time here, was awful. Trading Iginla and Boumeester was handled badly, was not needed and not called for (both players wanted to stay here). Drafting Baertshi, Jankowski, Poirier and Klimchuk in the three first rounds was absolutely atrocious. Yes, he lucked out with Johnny and, arguably, with Monahan (although, there were much better players drawn after Monahan - Ristolainen, Morissey, Horvat, Theodore). Just hate Feaster’s tenure here.

I agree with most of that but he did have to trade Iginla - he was absolutely going cup-hunting. But he allowed Iginla to dictate the return, and muffed the draft picks he got for Iggy and Jaybo.
You forgot the O'Reilly fiasco.
