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.

All of the pleading in the world to go to Pitts wouldn't matter if Feaster got Iginla's initial list of teams in writing and submitted it to the NHLPA. He then could have taken the best deal and not be handcuffed.
You claim it's speculation that he had a list of approved teams but Iginla even mentioned in his presser how he was approached about a trade and he was honoured that teams he viewed as strong organizations were trying to get him. All credible hockey sources also said there was a list. Sure, I can't 100% confirm the fact there was a list...just like you can't confirm there wasn't a list. But all signs definitely point to a list of teams Iginla initially said he'd go to.
