Furthermore, what nobody outside Calgary could understand is that Iginla deserved to make that call, not only because it was in his contract, but also because of what he's meant to this city. If Jarome preferred the Penguins to the Bruins, then good on Feaster and the Flames for accommodating his preference.

The time to maximize his value, trade-wise, was over two/three seasons ago. This time, if a trade had to happen, it was to do right by Iginla, and give him a better chance to win.
