Tkachuk came courtesy of Vancouver.
Wow, hard is this for you to understand?

Ultimately, it was Feaster who made the decision. It doesn't matter if someone pushed (encouraged) him because he was making the final call. There is a reason you have staff to support you but ultimately the decision falls on the person making the pick - in this case, it was Feaster. He could have easily turned around and not listed to Button too.
