It's definitley a fine line that Feaster has to walk. I get that posters think the longer Feaster holds out the better chance the price goes up. Problem is the list is small. I could see one of those managers waiting for the other teams to go in a different route and be the only one left on the list. Like you said, if it gets down to one suitor the flames are screwed. Would have been nice if the list was 10-12 teams, but i don't blame Iggy for wanting to go to a Cup favourite.
Also a little concerned that Elliot Freedman said that he does not want to be a rental and is looking to sign with the team he is going to. It could work out better, but it also work out worse. What happens if Calgary and a team get close on a deal, then the other team listens to what Iggy wants as an extenssion and says no way. Have no idea what Iggy is looking for, but not hard to think he wants the same deal Doan got or more. Could be a problem depending what the cap is for some of these teams going forward.
