Feaster's hands were, however, tied, and Iginla forced him to take a lesser deal.
And does anyone remember how JBo was referred to one of the most overpaid players in the league prior to being traded? JBo's numbers are also coming back down to Earth. He plays on arguably the best d-core in the league right now too, which further skews his numbers.

Feaster was too soft on this. When Iginla provided a list of teams, Feaster should get the best deal. To have a deal with Boston and then to defer to Iggy's preference was a mistake. It was a list, therefore, a trade to any one of those teams on the list was the only input Iggy should have had. If I recall the news conference, Feaster said something along the lines of "Iggy earned the right to choose his team..." Feaster was right...but that's way he had a list.
