I can understand trading a potential top 5 pick for ROR, but then there's the Iginla trade where Feaster felt the Boston's offer of conditional 1st round pick was better than the Pens offer of a guaranteed first round pick. Luckily, it seems Feaster has changed course, but the odds are that at least one of the Flames' first round pick will be traded before Feaster's is done here.

Feaster actually came out and said the Boston 1st rounder was guaranteed, not conditional like so many think. I don't have a link, but I've seen it posted.
