Not like Pitts at least in my mind were so much more likely to win than any of the other teams on his list, and IMO, Boston seemed to be more like the type of team that Iggy's persona matched. Just seemed messed up he wouldn't have taken whatever deal the Flames thought was best for them off of his list.

Shows to me that Iggy was over thinking things and I think you do that when you lose confidence. His mind set should have been, "I will be the difference on whichever of those great teams I'm sent to that will make me win the cup". In doing what he did, it was clear that his mindset was, who can "win the cup for me"

That lack of confidence has likely been reflective on the ice the ice for a while. He looked like a passenger this playoffs, he could IMO still have been a bigger difference maker.

That actually makes some sense.
