After this point, the team can trade him to any of those teams. Because Feaster didn't do this, it blew up in his face because Iginla went back on his word and after initially having Boston on his list, he decided against it after the deal was made.
So if Feaster didn't follow common protocol and submit Iginla's list to the NHLPA and was forced to take a worse deal because Iginla changed his mind...then yes, you could easily argue it's Feaster's fault.

First of all, that is a whole lot of supposing and guess work.
2nd, at the end of the day, Iginla got to pick where he went. So all of the convincing in the world didn't matter if he made up his mind. That couldn't be any more black and white.
