Its hard to understand because it doesn't make sense to supply a list of teams you are willing to accept and then refuse to waive your NTC when the sweepstakes have been won by one of them.
From what Chiarelli said its pretty clear than both he and Feaster thought the deal is pretty much done since Boston was on the pre-approved list and then when Feaster asked Iginla to formally sign the waiver he was told no.
I don't believe that Feaster made a deal with Boston, told Boston they had a deal and then went to present Iginla with 3 different options to choose from. Thats nonsense even for Feaster. They thought Iginla will waive the NTC to go to Boston, they weren't offering Pitts as an option before Iginla rejected Boston.
