Despite attempts to revise history, this was never a case of the Flames saying "we've got a deal with Boston" and Iginla saying "I changed my mind". This was always a case of the Flames saying "we've got deals with Boston and Pittsburgh, lets choose which is best for both of us." |
I guess it is who you believe. At a season ticket holder session it was mentioned that Flames wanted the Boston deal but Iginla wanted to go to Pittsburgh, as mentioned he wanted to go with the hot hand. They spent a number of hours trying to convince him but in the end went with the Pittsburgh deal to appease Iginla. They also mentioned that the agent advised him of a fifth team that wasn't on the initial list that Jarome would consider.
I really don't think it was revisionist history at all.
