I think the flames are back tracking now to save face. Throwing Iggy under the bus isn't the way to do it though.
I was listening to the Fan today and they reported that management went to Iggy a month or so ago and told him that if he wanted to stay in Calgary, he'd have to sign at a considerably lower salary then he wanted and wouldn't be given the length of contract he wanted. sounds like the flames were forcing his hand.
Also, on TSN, Chiarelli, speaks about requesting to contact Iggy once he realize there was a problem earlier in the day, and the flames refused him that.
Poor management all the way around.
