How did he handcuff the Flames? Handcuffing the Flames would have been extending Iginla for 4 more years at a Doan like rate.
Feaster approached Iginla with an extension at a cheaper rate, Iginla declined, and Feaster had to move him.
Moving forward the Flames are better off with even just an extra first rounder then we are with Iginla for another 15 games, or for another 4 years at > $6 million.
