Like I said, Feaster could have simply gone back to Iginla and said that they could reach an agreement only with Boston. We both know that Iginla would have gone in that case.

All of this bitching really comes down to the fact that a few people are upset that the team chose not to behave the same mercenary fashion they do. Flames management wanted to do right by Iginla.
