Make sure to fire Feaster before he trades the 4th overall pick to Philadelphia for Ruslan Fedotenko and a couple of 4th rounders.

I'm kinda serious....

You never know he might pickup Briere. Feaster said many times Calgary is not rebuilding and they need a center so......

If Iginla only wanted to go to the Pens he needed to make that clear in advance. He gave Feaster a list, Feaster worked off of that list, and Iginla changed it last minute.

Not true Feaster offered him 3 possible trades asked which one he wanted Iggy said Pitts not his fault.

I Hate Blake Coleman · Mar 28, 2013

Iginla finally got his #1 centre. Best one in the NHL too. If Crosby doesn't work out, Pittsburgh's #2 is pretty good.

Honest question have any of you guys watched these guys play? Just cause they aren't CHL players doesn't mean they won't work out. I like what I'm hearing from Hanowski he's a RW with size which is exactly what they needed. Not sure how I feel about Agostino, but I'm not going to judge someone I haven't seen play.

MarkGio · Mar 28, 2013

Sportsnet confirms this.

I think Feaster needs to be scouting hockey games, not hot dog stands

Tortarella said that they would have never won the cup with out that trade. Feaster said he would make it every time knowing it won them the cup hard to knock it.

That's not how this works. Iginla gave Feaster a list before he started making calls. It wasn't like Feaster laid out three deals in front of Iginla and told him to pick one.

Flames Fanatic · Mar 28, 2013

Blame is all on Iggy. Not Feaster. No doubt that the Boston deal was better.

I was at least interested in the fact that Feaster said we'd be busy between now and the deadline. Also that we aren't in a position to move picks and prospects.

Lifeline · Mar 28, 2013

Even if Iginla was driving the deal I don't think it would have been that hard to get a better deal. I mean I can't picture this deal favouring us down the road.

dixs35 · Mar 28, 2013

I have to say I feel bad for you as fans. The time to trade Iggy was 2yrs ago or last year. That return was awful.If thats all you could get in a package would it not have made since to trade for one of their many D prospects and a lower pick. Just a bad move all the way around.

HoshiBlitz · Mar 28, 2013

I actually kind of like this. All we need to do now is draft Jones...he can be our future Captain America.. :laugh:

Calculon · Mar 28, 2013

Corey Pronman ‏@coreypronman 21m
Seen a lot of Hanowski recently. Good hockey sense, average skill, great shot, skating is an issue. Ok 2L potential. Good PP guy.

Corey Pronman ‏@coreypronman 16m
Agostino is a hard working forward, has good skill, tough, protects puck well but he's small. Average speed. Projects as a 3L forward.

So, a possible 3rd liner and a 2nd liner plus a late first, almost a second. Fantastic.

what frak just happened

I went to the bathroom for a quick wizz--Iggy is a bruin when I left
less then 2 minutes later--he is Penguin

WTF happened

Go back. And for a longer time.

Thanks for not trading him to the Bruins. Whew.

Tak7 · Mar 28, 2013

The Pittsburgh Penguins have landed Jerome Iginla, without giving up:

a) A single roster player

b) One of their highly rated D prospects.

Stunning. That's a steal.

I feel bad for you guys. Iggy's such a class act

Yes it was!

That is how it happened tonight, Feaster called Iginla said Pitts, Bos, Chi all want you and we have deals ready to go where do you want to play. He said Pitts. How can you not understand this? Iginla picked Pitts over Boston.

You simply have no idea what your talking about it is 100% Feaster he asked Iggy which team he wanted he said Pitts.

Hate to say it, but did Dallas get more for Brendan Morrow, than Calgary did for Iginla?

Clearly I'm not the one who's failing to understand this.

@FriedgeHNIC: Total shocker...Holy ****

Everyone is shocked

NHL fans across the board have been saying for years you have to start rebuilding. I have been watching in a sort of jaw dropping awe for years that this inexorable depreciation of assets has been allowed to continue. It has been needless lazy willfully blind and incredibly stupid. What a waste. I feel for your fan base but am hardly surprised by this return and am not really sure how you can be. Your management sucks and you waited WAY too long.

Sean Monahan · Mar 28, 2013

maybe Feaster knew Pittsburgh won't be able to re-sign Iggy in the off-season and talked to Iggy about the possibility of coming back after the playoffs. Iggy realized the Pens have the best shot at the cup AND two of the best centers in the league and said yes.

As a Leafs fan to a Flames fan. Once you think it can't get worse, it gets much worse

Toronto got more for Kaberle. The Coyotes got more for Carcillo. The ****ing Oilers got more for Penner.

MC Ride · Mar 28, 2013

I honestly kind of like this. Not as much as I would like Maatta... But still... This team seems to have good scouting in the NCAA. Look at Gilles and Gaudreau. It's not a coincidence that we drafted the top two Hockey East players after the 4th round
