Jay Feaster is Made of Steel

More stories coming out from the trade deadline aftermath. This strange one out of Tampa.

When the time came for Tampa GM Jay Feaster to call Brad Richards and tell him he was traded, the GM got a little emotional.

From ESPN:

“I phoned Brad and I couldn’t finish the conversation. I broke down and I couldn’t finish talking to him,” Feaster told ESPN.com a day after he sent Richards to Dallas.

“As Brad pointed out to me, he said, ‘You and I have been together 10 years,” Feaster said. “He’s an even better person than he is a hockey player and he’s a great hockey player,” Feaster said. “He’s a special young man.”

Ok, I don’t know about you guys, but I really need to stop posting for a moment and compose myself. Oh Jesus, I’m crying now… thank you. Thank you very much Brad Richards… you special young man. You know *sniff*… they say man tears are made of melted steel… I *sniff* am not *sniff* ashamed…
