This return doesn't make the Morrow, Murray, Regher, etc. trades just go away. If anything, Feaster probably lowered the market value for forwards by accepting such a crap deal for Iginla

This is kind of circular reasoning, no?
Essentially, you're arguing that even though the market for players is probably consistent with what Feaster got for Iginla and Bouwmeester, that he's the reason the market is set there, and that therefore it's his fault.
Not to mention that the returns for Morrow, Murray and Regehr are in fact quite consistent with the market value for other players. Murray and Regehr got the same return, 2 second-round picks. In an objective sense, 2 second-rounders are worth less than one first-rounder--and Iginla got a first-rounder on TOP of a return that was commensurate with 2 second-round picks anyway.
The return for Morrow was objectively the worst of all of them, which makes sense considering who he is. But in order to get the medium-level prospect they wanted, Dallas had to throw in a draft pick-for lower-draft-pick swap. This tells you what you need to know about this market. Let's not pretend that the Morrow trade was something it wasn't.
