Both teams wanted to make a deal and made sense to make a deal that worked for both.
Are Pittsburgh in a good spot if they lose out in Iginka to keep Harrington that may make your team in 2 years and probably never impacts a chance at a Cup like Iginla will this year.
Also not sure that Pittsburgh would know they are only team.

a) Pittsburgh was well aware that it was between them and Boston. They're also well aware of what Boston has to offer.
b) Pittsburgh was already looking like the favorite in the East and had strengthened their team, they could afford to pass.
I love this criticism. People would be losing their #### if Iginla left for nothing. If anything waiting would put more pressure on the Flames, they were the one s who were looking at getting nothing.
