Yeah, Feaster got caught with his pants down but really Backlund had already said that Tom wasn't going to sign with us, so he doesn't have any excuse.
and don't ask for a link, I'm not that good with google but I gave one at the time of the trade.
The trade didn't look good and the subsequent draft picks are different transactions.
