Burke hung on to Cammy due to bad offers ,and although yes we lost Cammy for nothing , I think the history of that paid off in the good return we got for Russell

It should be a mark on Edwards and King. Ownership and senior leadership delayed the trading of Iginla to a point where his value was diminished and then let him pick where he went. Iginla was asked to provide a list of teams he'd be willing to go to, but was never asked to sign the NTC waiver until the trade was finalized. This wasn't an oversight...this was a decision made at the top to show respect for his service as a Flame. This held Feaster over a barrel and gave Iginla the final approval of any destination. Had Iginla been required to sign the waiver before the trade, Feaster could have picked a deal with any of the teams Iginla listed.
