I can't believe anyone is trying to defend Iginla in this instance. I don't know about you, but when I tell someone that I will do something, and give them my word, that means something to me and the people that know me. When you fail to follow through on those promises it makes you untrustworthy. That's the problem for me. Iginla took advantage of his relationship with Edwards and King and put one over on his friends on his way out the door from the party. ###### move from a player we thought was a standup guy.

Are you always this angry?
That seems extremely over-dramatic.
He had a no-move clause, and while he did specify he'd go to Boston or Pittsburgh, he was clearly thinking long and hard about it at the time and changed his mind. That entire situation played out very quickly over a matter of hours.
The fact you outright admit we have no idea if it really made any discernible difference to us in the long run just underlines how odd it is that you seem this angry about it.
