Jay Feasters trade history is filled with way more fleece jobs than it is with good trades. He's made a few but they are rare and he's never pulled off an outstanding deal. GMs have reputations and you can bet he was seen as a guy who GMs could take advantage of.
The Boston and Pittsburgh deals were both on the table before Iginla nixed one. We unfortunately just got stuck with the worse one. Yes that is Iginla's fault but it was Jays fault for having such a bad deal on the table to begin with. He's the one who negotiated it. The deal was in play before anyone even knew that Iginla would only go to Pittsburgh.
