I guess I am naïve that way though.

As someone who has been very critical of the Feaster management group and want them gone even I have a hard time criticizing them for not having it in writing with Iginla.
I might criticizing for not realizing that he was going to switch (hard to tell how open he was with that) but if it was a case that Jarome told them he was cool with the 4 teams and then last minute told them something different I think that you would normally go on faith rather than needing written confirmation.
As for Healy I thought he was talking about knowledge from his time with the PA and working with agents/players with these deals.
