Wouldn't one just assume the GM trading the prize would have placed a call to all interested parties letting them know the details of the trade they were going to accept to give everyone else chance to better it? Isn't that like GM 101? Again, Feaster is a disaster.

Unless Feaster knew ahead of time that he had another potential Chris Butler, that changes everything.

Lets be honest though, this isn't Iginla circa 2008. Not in terms of his abilities, just age is a factor. He's 35 and a UFA.

However, Feaster is a moron, and get me Gio Homburgler.

EDIT: I'm actually semi shocked he didn't get M.Subban in the deal. Like mind blown. Kipper is getting up there and that was chip he should have been gunning for

It's inexplicable. I feel bad for all the fun I'm poking on twitter, because I have a few friends who are Flames fans, and they're livid

Im pissed off too.

The Flyers could have had Iginla for Cousins, Guss and a conditional first if he re-signs.

(I'd give up those two just to see him here for the rest of the season)

The forward he got, Khokhlachev is a one way winger. Absolutely worthless defensively. Not a great skater, smallish...he's a B prospect

The defenseman is a 3rd pair guy. Won't even crack their current team if he pans out.

What a crazy night. And that return from Pittsburgh isn't much better. I can't wait to hear the details of how this went down.

Well it's at least got a guaranteed first.

After doing reading, Khockhlachev is the best of the prospects rumored/traded, but the two guys the Pens traded aren't miles behind him...and the defenseman rumored from Boston is a spare part, wouldn't even crack our defense

Not good. I think D'Agostini is rated like 10th and I honestly don't even know who the other guy is.

If they fail the crash will be hard. No excuses now. My god tomorrow we might be adding Iginla, Malkin and Murray to a team on a 13 game win streak.

Hanowski's an offensive player. Decent size, skating needs work, but decent hands. Projects as a 2nd/3rd liner. Agostini is a lot like Nick Cousins. Pesky little bastard with some skill.

I'm just waiting for the rumors that Gary called Jay after he heard it was Boston to 'sway' him.

You're so excited you have no idea who you just traded.

D'Agostini is still a Pens prospect. Agostino is the guy they traded, along with Hanowski
