Because the player didn't sign off on his list, he still had all the power and at some point Iginla decided he really wanted to go to Pittsburgh......maybe that's where he wanted to go from the beginning, but still gave Jay other options in case Pittsburgh wasn't all that interested, or to at least give Jay a little leverage in negotiations.
Of course, it is possible that Iggy agreed to waive, but wouldn't agree to sign off on a list.
It's really hard to place blame on anybody in this situation, without knowing all the facts. Of course, that isn't going to stop most people here though.

Makes you wonder if Feaster lacks experience (or his hands are tied) in some important areas since we seem to keep getting the short end of the stick over and over... It's too bad too because it seems to be contributing to the organizations regression instead of potential win's for the organization. We can't seem to follow a straight plan, I am not even sure we have one now. We are like an army of soldiers that used us all our rations because we had a poor plan of attack.
