I think there is a huge difference in circumstances with this trade and say the Theoren Fleury trade.

Iggy said he was approached a month ago, about the Flames possibly trading him. That gave him a month to prepare for the inevitable. Plus, Iggy had a chance to steer his own destiny...and he deserved that chance. And I think Iggy was ready for a change of scenery.

On the other hand, Theoren Fleury got told he was traded by the Flames and basically shipped out the same day. Rather a shock to the system and I don't think Theo was ready to play elsewhere.
