It is definately conditional. TSN just posted it. I didnt think it was possible to top the Phaneuf trade but feaster proves me wrong again.

Geez, a conditional 1st. Feaster doing Feaster things.

If that first round pick is conditional, you guys need to go to Feaster's house tonight with torches and pitchforks. I feel really bad for your fan-base.

Nobody is hating Calgary. If anything we're taking pity on you guys. What an awful trade.

Does iggy have to clear waivers?

Even as a Leaf fan I can honestly say the Flames are the worst run organization in the league. Islanders a close second along with Columbus. At least those teams have an excuse...

Give me 2 legitimate reason why this trade is bad.
I see 0.
This fan base has been fed in the eye so bad they are willing to hate everything.

This is a GOOD THING.
Especially if they got a 1st. (even conditional- he either resigns and gives them a 1st, or, comes back. whoopty whoop)

Feaster- genius- resign him please. And there is no sarcasm. Sutter would have done worse

Hey, don't forget the Oilers.

dissect why. I've seen nothing but piggybacking on the word 'awful'.
Please, assume analyst for a bit.

Not hating at all. I don't think you guys got fair value for your generational player. I know he's not the same player, but the 1st shouldn't be conditional.

The conditional first is bad. How the hell do you not wind up with a sure draft pick?
Khokhlachev is a 2nd round pick who put up pretty terrible numbers this year.
Bartkowsi is a 24 year old slightly above average AHL defense men.
This is the most Feaster could get? Really? Sad.

yes, because losing him for nothing is better.
and -to be honest- you apparently realized he is no longer a franchise player chip?
dude is a 8 g 7 a the rest of the season for Boston, and then, whatever he gives them the playoffs.
Calgary gets a top CENTER chip (Alex), a throwin depth 2nd tier (Bart) and a potential 1st pick.

Dissect where this is bad, instead of playing Donald Sutherland at the end of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. substance!!!

They got pieces, not great pieces, but pieces.
When Murray gets you 2 2nd rounders, that is almost in the same ball park as this package return

I think the only reason we need is the return. Bartowski is not going to be anything better than a 5-6 d-man. Khocrochev is maybe a second line center but undersized. Report on him is that he is also not a great skater. Not a great combination. And then the CONDITIONAL first rounder. I mean are you seriously saying flames could not have gotten better. I agree that sutter would have done worse but that really isnt saying much. The bruins offered koko + a 2nd rounder for MORROW. Are you seriously saying that iggy is worth almost the same as morrow?

Meh- either he re-signs or he goes back to Calgary. Unless a re-sign was guaranteed, I all but guaranteed a conditional. Not mad at all. And this trade is seriously the best Fester could do. I am proud of him.

Agreed, when you trade the face of your franchise you should hope you get more than a couple average prospects and a conditional pick that will most likely be 25-30.

honestly. Its a 2nd line centre (if he pans out w/ the russian factor) and a 3rd paring dman. The conditional 1st rounder is the only saving grace in this trade.

48 pts in 29 games with Windsor ... what a failure

Being on the 2nd line with krejci, that will be the best centre he will have ever played with. Watch him put up some serious numbers now

Considering its Bostons first, thats pretty much a glorified 2nd round pick.

Honestly, I'm sick about it. I've watched both players and Iggy was playing far and away better than Morrow. I wasn't thrilled at all with the Morrow trade.....frankly he looked washed up from what I've seen. I've seen Iggy have some nice games (after a slow start).
