They were in a tight spot, I think though the real mistake was not going this route last year. Iginla's list if he could be convinced to move last year may have looked different and as he still had one year left on his contract trade value was higher. Any move this year with Iggy no matter where he went was to little to late, lets do him a favor. Maybe ok under tough circumstances but still they delayed this and fooled themselves on this one so its no surprise we had so few options.
