Now Jay has a deal in place with a team Iginla won't officially waive to go to.
There was risk associated no matter how this one was played by Feaster. The risk being he ends up with no deal being one of them.
I also think it is clear that any "list" was not a list that was official enough that Iggy was willing to have it submitted to officially modify the nature of his NMC. I appears to have been a suggested list but he still wanted final say.

Honestly I don't know. It's all conjecture. But I would think if Pit agreed to give up someone who is widely considered one of their top prospects in Joe Morrow to get a winger who wasn't as good as Iginla in his prime, isn't as good as Iginla now, and captained his team literally out of the playoffs the last two seasons iirc, then I have to believe they would have been willing to pony up a better prospect then the two they did.
I think Feaster got out bluffed. No, I can't prove it, but I think it all the same.
