Pittsburgh really played this brilliantly. They gained all the leverage when they acquired Morrow and Murray, which showed Iginla they were all in this year, and by doing so for none of their top 5 prospects were able to make a lower offer than Boston. Iginla having a NMC made everyone else irrelevant at that point, it was Pittsburgh or nothing.
