And JayBo, we got another first rounder...I really have no issues with the fact that we got Morgan and Emile with trading these players. We will be better off without those two so we can do a proper rebuild.

Lesser players have fetched higher returns and while the 1st round picks are fine I have more of a beef with the mediocre prospects involved as neither the Penguins or Blues prospects were regarded as top 10 prospects in either pool and you can argue they just threw them in as a courtesy seeing they weren't part of those teams plans moving forward. I'm still to this day not clear on why they just didn't ship him to Boston and taken the superior offer. I'm fairly sure by the last day they were at the point of no return that Iginla would have gone to the Bruins rather than stay with the Flames. Not sure why they felt they had to bend backwards for a player that intended to leave the organization this summer anyway.
Darryl Sutter managed to fleece a few teams when he was Flames GM but has Feaster ever fleeced a team in his GM career? Seems like he's come out even or the loser on most of his moves.
