I asked for fact, not opinion.
We want Iginla to retire a flame (again what else would they ever say regardless of what the truth is) is a long ways from "giving my left nut to have him retire here".

What conspiracy theory? You made a rather sensationalist claim and have no facts to back it up. Again it's quite a stretch from "we hope Iggy will retire a Flame" to what you said. We can even assume that they were 100% truthful as they may well have been. Obviously they were not willing to go to the lengths you suggested to keep him as when push came to shove, Iggy was traded for the good of the team. What you implied was that they would do everything feasible to keep him. Throwing huge money at him would be one way to do this, something they were unwilling to do. Sort of proves your statement incorrect right there.
