bag of pucks? Let's at least wait until Klimchuk turns pro and until Agostino and Hanowski get more time to prove themselves ...
Should we have gotten more for Iggy? Sure. But people really underestimate the worth of Feaster getting 2 additional firsts in a deep draft. IIRC only 5 firsts were traded in that draft ... both Calgary and Columbus acquired two and Buffalo acquired one. Teams were hesitant trading their firsts in that draft and adding Poirier and Klimchuk gave us a head start in the rebuild.
Bottom line is that personally it pisses me off when people call unproven talent "bag of pucks". Give them time to develop.
Oh and yeah, I hope Iggy gets to 30 tonight
