There may be some dispute over why Iginla had that right to pick only one team, and how he communicated his choice to the Flames. What I don't understand is why people are blaming Feaster for the return. What exactly would another GM have done to extract more value in a situation where - because of matters out of his control - he had no leverage?

This is exactly right.
Iginla exercised the rights he had in his negotiated contract. Don't blame him.
That restricted severely the number of teams that Jay Feaster could deal with and had the expected impact on the return netted. Don't blame him.
No blame here. Just the nature of NTCs.
