Either way I don't think either return was great, getting a first instead of a conditional first is much better. Today it's all trivial though...time to move on. Another bad trade, by a bad team, who's tended to make bad trades when it involves them trading a good player.
It was a firm first from Boston as per Chiarelli. McKenzie said Feaster preferred the Boston deal but Iginla nixed it.

1st (Bos) + Khoklachev + Bartowski

1st (Pit) + Agostino + Hanowski

Those were the deals.
