yeah, throw a lot of dough at big name players and give them NMC/NTC to sign here to 'contend'. How has that worked for the past 10+ years?

Iginla did calgary a favour, that a fact.

No, it simply isn't. This whole premis is rediculous. Iggy did Calgary a fact because he went to play with Sid and Malkin to try and win a cup this year versus sticking it out and playing on the Flames? Failing to see how that works.
Also, failing to see how he screwed us either. He had the NMC, and he used it. That's not screwing us either.
All in all, seems like a business deal went down the way it should. But nobody was taken a little less than the situation offered up, and pretending Iggy F'd us or that he did us a favour is silly.

Nobody is arguing that. The argument is that Regehr is a 5th d-man at best at this point in his career and he still got 2 2nds. Bouwmeester is a #1 d-man and only got a 1st and C level prospects. Bouw should have got a blue chip prospect instead of mediocre prospects.

Feaster isn't done yet. Those may not be the only picks in play.

Agree. The only chance would be if Colorado of Florida want a roster player as well. Cammy+18th+30th for top 5. I'd do it, get this rebuild started off right.

The way I look a it is in these type of trades you're going to get two types of prospects off of other teams:
1) Prospects that were at one time highly touted by the organization, but have since failed to develop properly and somewhat fallen out of favor (Joe Morrow)
2) Prospects that were either drafted low, undrafted, or are not the top couple prospects in an area of strength for the organization.
With the first type of prospect you can hope they get back on track and live up to earlier expectations, but it's not a guarantee. With the second type you have to focus on prospects that aren't just living up to their draft position, but are outperforming it. It seems like all of the guys Feaster has targeted are doing that. Only time will tell if this strategy pays off in the long run, but I think it's the right one to take.
Also, keeping the 1st rd picks in the deal obviously effects what caliber of prospects are included. If we really wanted a Schwartz/Rattie that first would have become a 2nd/3rd. Again, I think it's better to keep the first.

How does Feaster get a pass for the mess inherited, when he admitted that he chose the wrong path to take since he took over?

The teams that are buying now don't want to give up roster players, and if they did, they'd be bottom pairing/4th line types who would do us no good. I'd much rather get draft picks and prospects than make quantity for quality trades for fringe NHL guys.

Man, folks sure have been spending a lot of time on the hate-wagon, lately. Is some GM supposed to come in here and start fleecing a bunch of NHL teams in trades for this crappy team's assets? My Lord...

I'd prefer one that has already been picked by someone else within the last couple years, and has already proven to be a top prospect. I'd rather have a team's Baertschi then a chance at picking another Fata, Kobasew, D. Tkachuk, Kidd, etc etc etc.
Besides, he said he wanted a first round pick AND a top prospect, not a first round pick and two low prospects.

1 point out of the playoffs, they're likely buyers, so I hope you're right.

Tanguay, Stempniak, Cammy or Stajan. Pick your poison Columbus. We're willing to do bulk trades too.

KK said that they were going to do the rebuild as fast as possible. The fastest way to do it is with quality prospects. Ownership is not cheap, so i still can't fathom why they did not eat salary for a better prospect.

A-ha. So get 1st round picks as well as players in their early 20s who might be able to step in sooner rather than later. I see a trend developing in these trades. If any of the 4 prospects that we have acquired in these deals and we are in bonus territory.

I doubt a ~15th and a ~29th pick gets you a top five pick, probably a top 10 pick... would prolly have to throw in something else too.

Right now he's a great player on a bad team. Peoria is last in their division and he's the best defenseman on the team.

But if Cammy gets you a 1st at next year's deadline, why do you do this? Yes we need quality but you will get quality in the 1st round. We are building from the ground up so we can't bank on a couple of good players - look where that got us with Iggy. We need to draft a team and all positions. Think of it like lottery tickets, the more you have, the greater the chance you will win. But if you go for 1 x $20 ticket vs. 4 x $5 tickets, you have a greater chance of missing which has been known to happen with 1st rounders (Stefan/Daigle). I do hope we keep our picks and draft a number of good players instead of swinging for the fences all out in order to get a couple of picks in the top 3.
