I don't think either of the trade proposals were good. Feaster should have had the Russian kid from Boston and a guaranteed 1st in the Boston proposal, and should have had Despres and a guaranteed first in the Pitt proposal. He failed in both proposals.
I will give you that Morrow already being traded from the Pens probably had a big influence on what Pitt was willing to give up going forward, but that then lies on Feaster for not making the trade earlier.
