Except to me it sounds like you couldn't shop him around. I think his agent led Feaster up until today to believe a deal could be reached and then turned around and said that his client wants to be a Ranger and to get a deal done with them or he will take his chances in the draft thus forcing Feaster to do what he could to get something good from Sather in return. Given that situation you really have to applaud Jay Feaster here. The Rangers could have said they would give their 2nd and nothing else. The person you should be angry at here is Tim Erixon and his agent, they pissed all over this organization to force a trade to a team the whiney brat wants to play for. Good riddance!
