Iginla didn't jerk the team around, he didn't piss on the Bruins, he changed his mind. He wanted to play with Crosby and Malkin. If he went to Boston instead at the last second you guys would be trashing him and Bruins just the same
He was asked to leave

Iggy was asked to waive his NMC, but at the same time he made sure that he did not look like the guy that initiated the trade. Ownership would have given their left nut to have Iggy sign a retirement contract last summer. Iginla did what was best for him by saying "he will wait and see" and i have no problem with that. I do have a problem when you give a list of teams that you will go to, only to back out at the last second and narrow it down to one team. Feaster and ownership were bent over a barrel after he nixed the trade to Boston and i as a flames fan i will always have a problem with that. If you only want to go to one team then state that at the beginning. I truly believe if Feaster/ownership knew that from the start where Iggy really wanted to go, they would have gotten a better return.
