You can fairly argue that they could have gotten more 2 years ago. Now? I'm not buying it. Especially given Iginla's NTC, I don't think he could have gotten significantly more. And would I take this over letting him walk for nothing? Yes.

I think it's likely Pittsburgh offered Morrow + to Calgary before offering it to Dallas. Calgary likely turned it down expected a bigger price.
