It makes zero sense and only shows Feaster as a terrible negotiator with a massively overrated law degree. Don't forget this is the same lawyer who didn't get Iginla to write down his 4 teams on paper.

Have you considered that Davoid Poile isn't interested in adding Bouwmeester's salary? The Blues ain't trading a potential top 10 pick in this year's draft for Bouwmeester. The Blues are making this deal to bolster their blueline in hopes of making the playoffs this year and they are willing to trade a mid-round pick in this year's draft to do that.
And you think Iginla would agree to write down his 4 teams on paper even if asked? If I had an NMC, I'm not putting anything down on paper waiving my rights. I would be stupid to do that unless I really don't care.
