I think the top prospect was the most important part of the return. I would have rather seen Feaster leave both the 1st and the middling prospect on the table rather than give up on getting a top prospect.

A late 1st rounder is just not that valuable, as no reasonable person should have been saying "It doesnt matter who we get back as long as we get a pick where, historically speaking, we'd be lucky to get a serviceable NHLer". The calibre of the best prospect coming back was going to determine the success or failure of this deal. And by that scale, this was a terrible deal.

Honest to god, I would rather have had Kaspars Daugavins and Jussi Jokinen off of waivers, over the return that they actually got.

Well thank god you aren't the GM
