It doesn't matter if he or Feaster made the call, Iggy is still a human being and should have the right to change his mind on a such an important career and life decision

Guess I'll be the second member of your ignore list.
Nawww, you're a good poster and I enjoy your stuff. GoJetsGo is just one of the most annoying posters who is always jumping in and trying to pick fights where fights don't exist.

I disagree with you on the player's right to change his mind. When you give a player a NTC or NMC there are usually stipulations in there that address the potential to allow the player control. It seems that Iginla's was a list of teams he would accept a deal to, which he gave to the Flames after agreeing to waive hit clause. Management negotiated the best deals they could and pulled the trigger on the one that best met you team needs. Iginla then went against the list he provided and limited it to one team. He went back on his word, which is kind of a dick move, not something a lot of people were expecting from the player. I'm not sure how Iginla changing his mind is something that gets hung on Feaster, and how Iggy walks away from this squeaky clean, but to a big chunk of fans that is the way this played out. It was Feaster's fault that Iginla screwed the deal over, and Iginla was just being the great guy that he always was. Just a very strange way of looking back at something that was covered in great detail.
