You're right that the two deals weren't the same. Boston's was better a d Iginla kind of screwed us over by not committing to go there. That is done. Get over it and accept that we got probable 3rd line players for the future. They meet a need for the team and that should keep us happy.

No he never. He had a no trade clause that was granted to him by the Flames organization. Iginla first and foremost has to look after himself and his family. At the point that he was asked to waive his no trade clause, he no longer has any allegiance to the Flames nor should he be expected to.
The Flames screwed themselves, not just by the no trade clause they gave to Iginla, but to other Flames players as well.
