By that logic, every trade is a good return (because every trader got the best return they could).
Feaster got "the best return he could" for Iginla. etc.

Hmm no. This is a trade for a pick. When you trade a player for player then you can debate if player A would've been better then player B. In this case did he have bubble teams offering him a earlier 2nd? no, did he contenders offering a last 1st no?
Treiliving clrealy said the return might get worse by Monday that's why he pulled the trigger. His opinion, he's the one making decisions. He made a judgement call.
I'm not one of those people that rags Feaster for the Iginla trade. He could've done better in Boumeester trade but for Iggy, he clearly only wanted to go to Pittsburgh. Trade him there or lose him nothing. Sure he could have held on for longer and potentially get a better or worse value from Pittsburgh. We'll never know. Btw, I'm very high on Agostino still so hopefully it's a good trade in Flames history.
Let me ask you though, what would've been a sufficient return?
