My personal opinion is that Iggy went for the money and security of a 3 year contract.
I see that he wanted a chance to win, but wanted to get fairly compensated as well as Iginla historically doesn't leave money on the table. Which of coarse is his right as a UFA, but I would say Iginla was looking more for a balance between money and cup, and not just looking for a cup which was a little dissapointing for me.
