To the extent that Feaster had a trade in place with Boston for (arguably) a much better return (at least at the time).
Boston and Pittsburgh were the only 2 teams Iggy exempted from his NMC. I've been informed that the Boston players were already told they were on their way to Calgary.
Feaster came to Iggy to let him know he had honored his wishes. Iggy nixed it, said he would only go to Pittsburgh, and Feaster had to go back to Pittsburgh with his tail between his legs and settle for whatever the Pens were willing to part with. A b-level and c-level prospect and a late 1st rounder.
It was totally within Iggy's right to do so, but he could have been more honest with his management group and enabled them to get the best return possible for a team he was as loyal to as to sign a NMC.
Still an Iggy fan, but like Regehr's goonery last season, it's tainted a bit.
