You are right in the fact that there is nothing wrong with taking the money, its within his rights as a UFA. I probably would have taken the cash.

He was considering them? Or they were considering him? Big difference.
People are correct that Colorado isn't a cup finalist contender like Boston and the Pens were... but how did that work out for him? In Colorado, he joins a very good young team on the upswing.
Suggesting he's given up on chasing a cup for a payday is not the case here at all. The Avs were a top team in the league this season and it's very possible they make strides in the next three years and that Iginla is a part of that.
He got term, money - and - a good team.
