That's the argument. That is honestly the argument being made here. That Jarome Iginla was so set on going to Pittsburgh, and only Pittsburgh, that he not only lied when he gave a list of 4-5 teams as possibilities, but that he was willing to miss out on a playoff chance (at the age of 35 when he knows his career is entering its twilight) rather than play with a different top contender if the Flames didn't send him to the Pens.
Iggy looks out for #1, we all know that. But he's never been been considered duplicitous or dishonest. If Pittsburgh was literally his only choice, he would have literally given the Flames a list with one team. It was only after Pittsburgh produced an offer that the Flames found viable that he clamped down.

No.
Threatened to not waive for a trade to Boston, through his agent or otherwise.
To see if the Flames would blink. Which they did.
The thing with threats, you can stand down if need be. He didn't need to.
It's entirely plausible.
