And Feaster can only present what the other teams offered. You can't strongarm other teams into giving more than they want. I'm sure all the teams had a chance to up their offers after the Flames considered the initial offers.
The Flames braintrust (not just Feaster) presented Iginla with three offers on the table. Iginla picked the Penguins. We have a pretty good idea of Boston's offer. I'm not sure if the other offer was from the Hawks or Kings. Once you're in a position where the player picks the city, it's out of your hands. For all we know, the Kings offered the best deal of all.
