I don't know if you're attempting to add or disagreeing, but I think Cliff is saying you'd have to be a dolt not to see what intelligent hockey people around the league saw. Meehan, of course, is no dolt, and did or should have seen the writing on the wall as well.
Here's the rub though; would Iginla give up that amount of input and control that the organization afforded him in order to play in a more competitive situation somewhere else? It doesn't appear so.
You can't buy that kind of job security and Meehan probably knew this and intimated as much to his client.
