maybe a little but this trade was as bad as the Iginla trade or worse..yikes

NTCs, come back and bite you in the end.

Look for the Blues to miss the Playoffs.

3 first rounders so far this year... Maybe they could steal another? 4 decent prospects to boot. And a possible 3 draft picks this year would probably kick start an unreal rebuild.

Maybe Feaster is smarter than we give credit for?
- Viktory

But Feaster also almost gave away Calgary's 1st this yr when he went after O'Reilly...
On of the 1st should be top3...then you could potentially flip the other 2 for another in the top5...

First round picks this year... I get this eerie feeling this draft will be another anomaly. Could be the year everyone wishes they were Calgary/Columbus.
- Viktory

if Penguins and Blues picks were from 1 to 10 then yes but one of those picks is like a second and the last one probably 15th,so hope that your GM dont end up picking another high school kid.

Decent return on J Bo, high salary where the cap is going down. What else would you get?

I don't believe Jbo put a list of teams like Iginla did.

You are undervaluing him.
- sensarmy_11

okay.. what do you think Jbo was worth?

Feaster makes a good trade and now you hate him?
- Arctic_AARDVARK

A mid to late first and a couple meh prospects is a good deal to you?

nah Im sure there was a better deal out there and eventually it will come out,this was just Feaster trying to help the Blues make the playoff and keeping the Oilers away from the playoff

Of course he did, might have been a bigger list though, but he wasn't going where he didn't want to go.

mackenzie on TSN just said that, with the amount of teams interested in j-bo, the return should have been rattie and a pick (not necessarily a 1st, but a pick).

i'm paraphrasing, but mac basically said that feaster got bent over again.

mackenzie is pretty well informed, so if he thinks calgary should/could have gotten more, i'm gonna believe him.

Bouwmeester isn't that good..

Three first rounders in this years draft...not exactly a bad way to start things...plus they still need to entertain moving Kiprusoff. Yikes.

DarrenDreger: Kiprusoff scheduled to start tonight...so don't expect his trade to do down during game. Wait a second...Hahahaha

Agree. Good start given the NTC's Feaster was left to deal.

read that Columbus is willing to move it's "extra" 1st and may do it for Cammy

Mackenzie has a pope-like following. I doubt St Louis would give up Rattie for Bouwmeester. Maybe the list of teams interested wasn't really there.

Bouwmeester isn't that good..
- Arctic_AARDVARK

He can eat 30 minutes a night and provide a lot of offence, only a year left..I dont think Bouwmeester is a blueline titan, but its starting to seem like Feaster is just taking what he can get. You guys will only give up a 3rd for Kipper at this rate.

what are the odds that glencross is moved?

hear ottawa is seriously inquiring

- Sam67

That would be a good thing, although Calgary is going to have no one left next year!!!!

Kipper, Tanguay, Cammy and Glencross all next!

Heard Bishop's name being mentioned as return. Evidently Calgary needs as many goalie prospects in the system as other players

- Arctic_AARDVARK

it wasn't just mackenzie (he just talked the most)....everyone seemed pretty surprised that the return was so low.

the 1st was obvious....but the two prospects are, AT BEST, c or d level prospects. the goalie was a 4th rd pick, and the d-man wasn't even drafted, was an undrafted FA.

That would be a good thing, although Calgary is going to have no one left next year!!!!

not a rebuild but a total implosion
