However, swinging for the fences on a #1 center is never a bad idea in my mind. Trading Iggy and Kipper and aiming for the basement is always a bad idea to me.
Another good reason is a simple comparison between some of Darryl Sutter's "big splashes" (and attempted ones) and the only one Feaster has tried that we know about.
Feaster: Brad Richards, who unquestionably helped the Rags a lot last season, and I think would've helped us make the playoffs.
Darryl Sutter: Bouwmeester, Jokinen, Redden, Smyth.
Thank god Sutter never got the opportunity to trade Iggy or Kipper.

Why did you leave off Feaster going after Ryan Smyth, and leave off Darryl getting Tanguay and Langkow? Did those examples not fit your bias rant?

Man, there is a word I haven't heard in a while. Moneyball sure was a favorite word here last year.
