I recall Burke saying he started off having offers of a 1st + prospect, then closer to the deadline that dropped to a first. And then the rest is history.
And no offense, but I personally don't think highly of Feaster's judgment in these matters. Here's a guy who loses the Tanguay trade because he thought a week before free agency was a good time to pull the trigger. Obviously teams aren't going to give up assets for a top 6 player a few days before they can (potentially) get a player in free agency without that consequence.
Just because nobody was biting with Feaster in charge of sale doesn't mean people couldn't have their arms twisted.
