The return is the return because Feaster backed jarome into a corner. Jarome then leveraged his ntc/nmc to get to the only team.

we go shafted by both

wesome deal. Giving up the face of the franchise for two players that will never make the NHL and a late first round pick, who Feaster will waste on another American player none of us have ever heard of and who will probably never make the NHL either. How is this a rebuild? Does Feaster understand that if the Flames finish last they don't automatically get the first overall pick?

Maybe he just forgot to ask. What an IDIOT!

I didn't say that once.

Agostino is 2nd line talent
Joe Morrow is 2nd pairing talent

Flames got a first round pick and another prospect for it.

Cut and dry to me honestly.

Based on what he said (which albeit is never at all reliable), I expect him to try and move everyone except Glencross, Stempniak, Hudler, Backlund, Giordano, Brodie, Wideman, Baertschi, Horak in the next week.

Agreed. I'm not convinced Feaster is the right man for the job, but this trade isn't his to own...success or failure.

I am so glad I checked my phone before going to bed. If I woke up to this I'd a thought I went through a wormhole. Yay for Pittsburgh. I will be ordering my iginla jersey shortly. He has a great shot at a cup now. Pitts-chi final will be intense.

[MyFlamesFirst]

Iggy I love you. That is all.

[azzarish]

Really don't know if those prospects will work out. They may do, they might not do. 3rd and 5th rounder doesn't sound great out of the box. I guess we'll just have to wait and see, and if we were going to rebuild anyway then we'd have to wait a few years for prospects to pan out regardless.

There probably weren't that many options in a return since Iggy only wanted to go to a few teams. Looks like he really wanted to go to the Pens.

[StrykerSteve]

Let the rebuild commence.

Any chance he moves himself and takes King with him?

It's what Flames fans should have been expecting. You don't get blue chippers/guys in the fast track to the NHL for rentals.

[Caged Great]

We got two guys that profile to be 2nd/3rd liners and another 1st in a deep draft. That's good for the player we traded.

Just a quick shout out to CP for keeping the site zipping along...
