One of management's most critical errors was to involve Iginla in the decision making process to the extent that they did. And I distinctly remember several instances over the past several years in which Iginla was insistent about the competitive level of the team. The miscalculation about the team's fortunes was not that of management alone, but in large part a product of management pandering to their star player, creating something like an echo chamber in which they parroted one another's beliefs about a bright future.
