You try to bully him and the incremental gain you might have gotten in that Boston deal isn't worth the external issues you ruin into from a PR/reputation standpoint amongst iggy's peers.

Would it be really a foul play by Feaster? It's perfectly his right to decline Pitt's offer. Iginla has an NMC clause, not "I can trade myself whereever I want" clause.
