I think the one thing the OP missed which is key to all of this is that we were able to shave off over $14 million in payroll.

Add that to the fact that we came out with 2 first round draft picks and were able to make something out of nothing in Comeau for a 5th I think we did great.

I think the only way this trade deadline could have gone better is if we were able to get something for Kipper (knowing he is going to retire this year) and shed ourselves of Tanguay.

Can't really understand all the hate for Feaster on the board these days as I think he is doing a pretty decent job.
