Now IMO it's still on Feaster for agreeing to two worthless prospects in that trade with Pitt. I suspect he could have done a little better.

What happened would have been fair enough if Feaster had only extracted a commitment from Iggy to agree to a trade of a couple pre-approved acceptable teams, and then Feaster could go out and make the best deal possible.
OR Feaster could have simply negotiated the best deal with a team and
then asked Iginla if that team was acceptable. I suspect if Boston was the only option Iginla would have said yes. In fact I know that since he ended up there.
