Oh my goodness. That's a very clever way for Iginla to not upset his fan base (another way the Flames helped him out). If Iginla didn't want to be traded, he'd still be a Flame right now.
I'm sure his 1st option would to still be a Flame on a competitive team, when that no longer became an option, he wanted out and rightfully so.
