Green text? Telling a GM that there are 4-5 teams that you will waive your NTC for, and then refusing to waive your NTC after the GM has spent time and resources negotiating a trade to one of those specific teams is the very essence of jerking a team around. I'm not sure how it can be viewed any other way. I get that Iginla built up a lot of credit with the fanbase over his career, so many people are willing to let it slide, but you are essentially taking one thing and calling it something else. Iginla jerked the Flames and Bruins around, and he jerked them around good. Right or wrong, that is what happened.
