I don't want to feel sorry for Feaster, because he has not done anything to help avoid this situation. However, he must be under an enormous amount of pressure. No one wants to be forever remembered as the GM who traded Iginla for a bag of pucks. He needs a guaranteed return that will satisfy the fans now and 5 years from now. That means the players/prospects coming this way have to be fully vetted - do they want to play in Calgary long term? What kind of people are they? Do they fit with some of our other up and coming players?
Pressure packed situation!
