I could really take Feaster or leave him in the grand scheme of things, but the amount of people in this thread (I read through most of it) calling for him to be fired because of this trade are just out to lunch.
It's just tough to take them seriously, using nemanja2306 for example, when he's trying his best to be outraged at not getting Morrow instead of the first and the two forward prospects when he has "FIRE FEASTER" in his signature.
I get the need to be upset in general. Losing our franchise player sucks. But the need to place blame and the faulty logic in doing so is just painful to read.  |
Well, considering that they gave Joe Morrow straight up for Brendan (draft picks are basically a wash), and considering that Iginla >>>> B. Morrow, it's not crazy to assume that Pens would need to add (at least) a 1st to get Iginla. Morrow was also a rental (so same situtation), and despite Iginla being a better player, he got less in return?
Also, I can't speak of others, but my disdain for Feaster is not just because of this trade. Have people forgotten the whole RoR fiasco? Colorado would have gotten our 1st pick (more and more likely that it's a top 5) and our 3rd because of a technicality that he could have easily cleared up had he called the NHL head office. That alone should get him fired.
You're saying we shouldn't be outraged because our GM gave our franchise player for two (most likely) future 3rd liners and a (most likely) 30th overall pick, even though he had a better offer on the table? I should be happy about that?
