That trade was pretty meh, as Morrison had clearly lost a step that year and was not producing at the near the rate of his previous season.
In hindsight, the 2011 trade deadline was a golden opportunity to gut the team and get some value for veterans, but instead Feaster decided to be a "buyer", acquiring Brett Carson and Freddie Modin to push for the playoffs, neither registering a point in the process. Imagine the returns we could have got that year for players such as Iginla (43G 86Pts, his last truly elite season), Tanguay (22G 69Pts and an expiring UFA), Bourque (27G 50pts), Glenncross (24G 43Pts and an expiring UFA on a dirt cheap contract), Morrison (43Pts, also a dirt cheap UFA). Talk about jump starting a rebuild.
