Sorry, I don't buy it.

If Iginla wanted to remain a Flame, he would still be here. He would have negotiated an extension and made it clear during the process that he would not entertain any ideas of waving his no-trade clause. He didn't do that and judging by the team that he choose to be traded to, it seems that his top priority is winning the cup, so I don't think it's unfair to speculate that he wouldn't have re-signed had he not been traded. That being said, please don't misconstrue this as any sort of attack on Iginla. I don't think there was anything wrong with the move that he made, nor do I think it should be interpreted as unclassy either.
