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 where the arguments break down. Those that defend Iginla say it was "his right"..........yes, it was his right, I don't dispute that. To the letter of the "law" (I don't know how else to describe it) he did nothing wrong. Agreed.
Did he do the right thing by his long term employer by which he had a very mutally beneficial relationship with and that treated him exceptionally well, not in my opinion. Business is business, he had the right to do what he did. But there are lots of things that I have the "right" to do at work or in my personal life, but that doesn't make them the "right" things to do.
