Not saying he wouldn't have waived it to go to Detroit, but we really need more information regarding what the deal was, and the circumstances involved before we get all tar and feathery on Feaster.
I do know that I have a friend that is very good friends with Bouw's wife, and they were excited about going to St. Louis (although a tiny apprehension about leaving Alberta) when Feaster approached him with the offer from the Blues. This means the Flames did keep Bouw in the loop, and sought his input, during the period where they were trying to trade him

IIRC (which is very possible I didn't) there were 8 teams Bouw was willing to move to
And while I can see the value of a 1st (Poirer) due to our recent drafting success, I still attribute that more to our scouts than Feaster; though I give Feaster full credit for letting his scouts do their job. Reference article from a thread few days ago:

Without a doubt though, the Erixon trade is Feaster's biggest win, especially how he turned Horak into Smid.
