Iggy called the flames bluff. Feaster said at the STH meeting that Iggy was totally ready to play out the string in Calgary and walk in the summer. Feaster also said from ownership down the entire organization tried to sell Iggy on Boston. Jarome said he felt Pitt was his best chance.
Where the flames messed up was interpreting that the list provided by Don Meehan (which included the Bruins) meant Iggy was willing to waive. He was open to those destinations but at the end of the day he wanted Pitt and used his NMC to ensure he got what he wanted.
Iggy made the wrong choice I wanted him to win but don't feel sorry for him at all. The Boston deal was much better than Pitt
