I'm too lazy to find the source, but it was one of the TSN tweets that day that it was a 4th or 5th round pick IIRC.
Going back though, this all stems from Feaster's comment that he prides himself on getting the Flames out of "cap jail" .... yet he did try to acquire Brad Richards and Ryan Smyth. Now I'm sure you may wish to debate the word "try" or "attempt" and if you enjoy that, all the power to you... but the fact that this was something that was even attempted shows he isn't the matyr he likes to thim of himself as.
