It's not Iginla's fault that management didn't surround him with talent and took forever to finally man-up and start this rebuild... but make no mistake - Iggy was driving this trade. 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.
