Not that I want to get in the way of Captain Obvious's rage, but Chiarrelli said that when Feaster contacted him a month ago, he said Boston was on the short list (didn't say how many were on the list) of teams Iginla would accept. Iginla had said that yesterday, he was brought with 2 options (Boston, Pitts) and said that if both teams offered returns that the Flames liked, he liked what Pitts offered (didn't comment on Boston). I have no problem with laying all the cards on the table for Jarome, as he has been a loyal employee for a long time; but if the Flames really wanted to maximize return and not tell him that Pittsburg's return was acceptable, he would have been dealt to Boston.
I actually prefer the road the Flames took (with Pittsburgh)... the return sucks, but I'm happy Iginla gets to go to where he wants.
