Can't say I'm not disappointed. No notable prospects in return for any of our players.
At the same time, it is interesting. Go over to HF and you'll find everyone on HF tearing the Capitals a new one for trading Forsberg, and in turn, mocking the Flames for not getting more in return for our players.
It seems that somebody always has to look like a fool in these roster player for futures type of deals over there. In order for Feaster to have done well, he apparently needed to make someone else look like a fool. That just wasn't going to happen.
Ultimately, it's up to the draft now. This management can't screw up this first round. We're getting a top 4 pick, and using it on anyone but MacKinnon, Drouin, Jones, or Barkov would be ground for immediate dismissal in my eyes. No moving down. If anything, I'd like to see us package the other 2 first rounders to get a second top 10 pick.
Most important draft in team history.
