And if you can't be bothered to read the entire discussion and figure out the context, don't waste my time by responding to me.
As I clearly said, Iggy wanted Pittsburgh first and when he found out they had what the Flames considered a good offer, he ensured he went to Pittsburgh. Since that is your argument as well, I have no idea what you are arguing about.
What I am saying is that there is no evidence that Iginla would have refused any trade anywhere else if Pittsburgh had not produced an offer the Flames found acceptable.
And yes, I very much expect to see cited comments before I will believe otherwise. I've provided comments that come directly from Iginla. If you and Jiri need to synthesize an argument without support to justify some form of petty reason to attack the guy, then all I can say is that is not Iginla that such an argument reflects poorly on.
Like I said earlier, to believe what Jiri is arguing is to believe that literally every thing written about Iginla's personality is a lie. And I'm not surprised that this point was so quickly ignored.
