My post was driven with newfound anger however, It's definitely one of the worst trades. This is a trade that should have brought back a return of players that we know the face and the name of, top prospects are what we needed, not two college players that may or may not be small scoring threats in the future. They might, at best, be a couple of David Mosses or Lee Stempniaks, which isn't bad, but we need more than that.

The Brett Hull trade contributed significantly to our one and only Stanley Cup, how can anyone say that was bad? How many of Hull's trophies, goals, and all star game appearances would Blues fans trade for a Stanley Cup championship?
You are right though, the Iginla trade should have brought back a lot more but it looks like the ntc screwed the value up big time. It was clearly a difficult trade to make for anyone, let alone a guy like Feaster.
