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.

Iginla gave his list of 4 teams to Feaster just days or weeks prior to the trade. Not years before. Basically Iginla told Feaster he was ok with going to Boston less than a month ago, then backed out at the very last minute catching Feaster and Chiarelli with their pants down.
