I'm no law expert, just a regular businessman and even I know that when you are negotiating anything you ALWAYS have the other party's word in writing to protect yourself when the other person reneges on what they say.

This guy really needs to get the hell outta town, because every time he opens his mouth he makes himself and the organization look like total ######s.
How is it possible for Iginla to know the teams years ahead of time when you are drawing up his contract and adding those teams in writing? These NMC NTC in contracts are the problem here. It gives the player control of where he is going and severly handcuffs a GM's role in getting the best deal his team. I have no doubt that Feaster told Chiarelli he had a deal only to have Iginla tell Feaster and management that no we don't and i'm going to choose Pittsburgh.
