Doubt it. If you look at the at the time line of what both sides have said since the summer, it becomes pretty obvious that Iggy has chosen to go. Flames have never waivered from the fact they wanted Iggy in Calgary for the rest of his career. Iggy on the other hand, as of 10 days ago, had not given his agent the "go" to start negotiations with the flames on a new contract.
Flames fans need to realise that Iggy is doing the classy and noble thing right now. He is not pulling a "Sundin", he is doing the opposite. Iggy is giving the organization he loves a chance to get something for him while they can. As flames fans we can't ask for anything more than that.
It's up to ownership and management now to get the best package back. If all they can get is something slightly better than the Morrow deal, then they have to take it.
