UFAs as a rule usually sign with a team other than the one that owns their rights and they should feel an obligation to.
The Leafs gave a lot bigger chance to Mason Raymond to give him a contract when no one else would. Does it make him a bad person to accept the Flames big contract offer?
Same as its a business theory that get player traded at the trade deadline for draft picks.

wtf
You're comparing signing a college draft pick who has yet to play a pro game to Iggy being traded at the deadline after 16 seasons as a Flame?
This analysis is way over my head.
