Tatar & Nyquist looks fantastic in hindsight as they are now solid contributors to a good team. What would Nyquist fetch today - 1st + roster player? Tatar - same or a bit less? So if Feaster was offered both, knowing what we know today, thats a bad call. But at the time both players were still in the minors.
My pet peeve with Feaster and Weisbrod was that they always seems to think they were a little bit smarter than the rest. It really was hit or miss, i.e. Jankowski, RoR, Cervenka, Berra, Ramo etc. Some of them turned out well, some of then didn't and some we still don't know.
Still, 1st + Cundari + Berra (now a 2nd) for a 1st pairing defenseman and an olympian. Don't know if there are any comparables out there.
Brian Campbell - 1st + Steve Bernier
Tomas Kaberle - 1st + Colborne + Conditional pick
