I think I'm as big on Iggy as it gets, my favourite player of all time. And I don't dissagree with you on Feaster pooping the bed on dealing with that important milestone in the Flames history, not at all saying he didn't.
But the pass Iggy gets from some fans on his decisions is rediculous. Yes, he had an NTC, so it was his "right" to do what he liked. That's not the entire point. Lots of things are people's "right", doesn't mean they fine things to do. Iggy got really really selfish at the end there, and showed the franchised that had basically made him priority #1 for over a decade (to a fault) no respect at the end. And he also showed just how stupid he was being about things by zeroing in on just one team. It's one thing to have a really small list (which he did), but to think one of those 4 teams had that much of a better chance then the other three on his list is just dumb. He had the top 4 contenders on his list, to micro analyse his decision down to one is just pure stupidity and shows such a lack of confidence on his own part on the difference he'd make to which of the teams he went to. He basically tried to pick which team he could be a passenger on win a cup, versus taking the stance that he's picked the 4 best teams and which ever one he goes to he will push them over the top and win the cup.
Stupid move for Iggy himself (as it proved out) and totally ####ty to give the franchise he played for all his career 0 leverage in moving him.
Yah Feaster took a #### on that one, but Iggy was in the stall with him too droppin a log right next to him.
