When will Jay Feaster get the axe?

[Avengers*]

I think they will ride out the season and boot him at the end of the year.

Yep that's how you rebuild, fire your GM half way through and start a new plan.

Troll thread.

Why do you think this?

Brian Burke is president and he did a good job rebuilding toronto.

Non sequitur.

You understand that most teams have both a president, and a general manager, right?

Then you should know Burke and Feaster were good friends even before they worked together in the Flames organization and as a result Feaster is a) not likely to be fired until the rebuild comes to fruition as he is not likely to lose his job over the clubs win/loss record and b) not likely to be fired because Burke likes working with people he knows well and c) Feaster is more willing to work with him than against him in order to build the club.

I know you're a new poster (and probably a little young based on that username) but you should lurk more and read what other people have said before going around and posting baseless opinions.

Based on?

To answer your question, I think he is safe this season. He navigated the team into a rebuild and I think they will let the team bottom out and see if they start to turn the corner next year.

I guess the end of the 2014/15 season, if we end up last.

You're right, only thing he's good for is drafting extremely well, negotiating contracts, trading 'immovable contracts', filling franchise needs, and keeping the fan base updated and informed on team decisions. Why would we ever want that. I mean, he even holds the players and teams accountable for their actions, and play on and off the ice. Pfft, get out of here you tub'o'lard, this is sport, not a pie-eating contest amirite?

I too have my criticisms against Feaster, but its too early to tell if he should be fired. If Janowksi, JG, Granlund, Seiloff, Wotherspoon, Gillies, Reinhart, etc. look like they aren't progressing in the next 2 years, then yes, his drafting and development management failed us, his trading (IMO) failed us, and since he's failed to address our needs in the face-off and shoot-out department, I can see him get the chop.

He better hope those draft picks pan out

 

[Calculon]

His contract ends at the end of next season I believe. It's never a good idea to go into a season with a lame duck GM, so they should either fire him at the end this season, or extend him. But given what happened with B.Sutter, it's possible they let him run out his contract and simply not re-sign him.

In summary, Feaster's status is up in the air.

And with the expected turn that this thread has taken, I think we've exhausted useful discussion.
