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.

This is black and white... when a deal is reached Iginla has to officially waive his no movement clause to approve it. Meaning, he has final say in where he goes.
The Flames and Boston reached an agreement, but Iginla did not approve it because he wanted to go to Pittsburgh.
I am astounded there are a handful of people not understanding this....
