Quite possible, actually probable, that Boston could have been pressed into giving more, but at the end of the day Iginla wants a Cup. The reason Boston would have been pressed is that Pittsburgh + Iginla is head and shoulders the favorite, and if your motivation is to win a Cup why would you okay a trade that at best puts you on a team that is co-favorite?
