I think the problem is that it was a conditional first that was offered. If Boston really wanted Iggy they should have known that the Flames wouldn't except less than an unconditional 1st coming back. Chiarelli can blame himself on that one.
Now the pressure is on the Bruins to compete with the Pens. If they're looking for forwards wouldn't this be a good time to try and sell a Cammalleri or Tanguay?
The asking price just went up (if only a little) for either.
