As a result we took a three year walk in the woods where the idea of a player took the priority over the actual success of the franchise.

Yup. We don't know how this played out. Perhaps Feaster wanted to get #12 to sign a formal list, but was told not to by Edwards. Iginla and Edwards are tight.
Asking Iginila to sign a formal list of teams off is not unlike asking your fiance for a pre-nup. You maybe should do it but it is a hard conversation to have and could damage the relationship.
