If I was a betting man, I would bet that Colorado wins a cup (or comes closer) than Boston.
I think it was the right fit for Iginla in all areas - money, term and chances at the cup. Colorado was decent defensively (14th in GA). They need to improve in that area, but they are not horrible. They will improve, so will their offensive abilities. I honestly think it is a good match all-around.

Chicago had a up and coming Keith and Seabrook... who does Colorado have?
As for the "polite" lol... there is a difference between please's and thank you's, and stringing along a team to be "polite" lol.
Nothing wrong with it, but Iginla has always been a staunch NHLPA foot soldier. Twice a training camp hold out for money. Again nothing wrong with it, most people would too... but lets face it, this was largely a money decision.
