I think you put the pressure on them they would have given up a better prospect rather than risk losing Iginla.

Tough to know for certain but pretty hard to think that this is the best they can get for him.
I get the feeling that Joe Morrow was one of the pieces in a deal for Iginla and when the Stars swooped in and snapped him up Feaster decided he needed to pull the trigger before losing out on anything else. Not to say Agostino/Hanowski were those assets, but the 1st might have been.

The other thought I have was that Feaster was specitically going after forward prospects. Because the Pens still have a few intruiging defensive prospects like Pouliot. Hard to say.

Honestly Agostino/Hanowski would not be guys I'd target as building blocks for the future -- but the Flames scouting staff may disagree.
