I wonder if Pittsburgh knew that the final choice would be Iginla's? Rather than just being dealt to a team on his list.
They put themselves in a decent position to not overpay in the slightest. They put forth a rather underwhelming but albeit fair offer, and probably banked on knowing that they were probably his first choice.
Sad day, but my sadness is being distracted by how fascinating this has been, not mention the return of playoff Iggy.
