Feaster gets just schooled in big deals I hate that he is handling this rebuild.
The Boston deal wasn't ideal either but was better and I like that team more than Pitt. Feaster has done nothing but piss off rival GM's and continue to be a joke when it comes to trades. I am happy for Iggy but disappointed management couldn't get one of those 5 D prospects.
It is going to be a long few years in Calgary

Of course they are going to say they love these prospects. It's just token post trade chit-chat.
The bottom line is that Jarome decided where he wanted to go and Feaster pretty much had to take the offer or leave it. It's not like Feaster looked at Pittsburgh's prospect list and thought; "Y
ou know, Bennett Pouliot and Maatta are all nice, but we really like Agostino and Hanowski...".
With no other teams able or willing to bid, Shero was pretty much able to set the terms. Or we could have made a stand and not traded him and let him walk.
